I've got my wife. I've got my four kids. I've got parents, grandparents still, and three really good friends. It's all you need. I'd rather have three really good friends than 20 good friends.

There is always scope for football to be more charitable but a lot happens already. Personally I have always been passionate about charity.

The secret to my success is practice!

I feel this pang of regret whenever I watch sport; this sense that I will never play a big match again.

Throughout my career I have been pretty successful, I've played for some pretty big teams, represented my country quite a few times, and played for managers without sentiment.

You know when you play in the big away games that the fans are going to be behind their team and will be booing you. As a professional you need to tune yourself out of that part of the game and concentrate on the job at hand.

You will go through tough times, it's about getting through them.
