I just want people to see me as a hard-working footballer and someone who is passionate about the game.

I wasn't as fit as I would of liked to have been, going to the World Cup, but I'm not sure what difference that made.

My priority is always the family and Victoria [Beckham] and I always ensure we are there for our children. We work hard but family comes first.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

The criticism hurts sometimes and I worry about the effect on my family.

I respect all religions, but I'm not a deeply religious person. But I try and live life in the right way, respecting other people. I wasn't brought up in a religious way, but I believe there's something out there that looks after you.

I'm surprised I still have so much hair after all the things I've done with it.
