I still look at myself and want to improve.

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.

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

My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about 7.

In my career there's many things I've won and many things I've achieved. But my greatest achievement is my family. What matters is being a good father and a good husband-just being connected to family as much as possible. Being a dad is more important than football, more important than anything. I adore children. I love the fact our children are part of both of us. It's one of the most amazing things ever.

There's room for boys' and girls' football in the world-that's what I believe.

Every situation has changed me as a person.
