My work ethic is something that I thought would help the team.

We've been asked to do 'Playboy' together, me and Victoria, as a pair. I don't think I'll ever go naked, but I'll never say never.

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

As soon as a free kick is given and it's anywhere near the box, I get excited. I don't really concentrate what side the keeper is on, because I always think that if I catch it as well as I can, then I can beat him whichever way he goes.

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.

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

I have always believed that if you want to achieve anything special in life you have to work, work, and then work some more.
