[Meeting Mandela] was the highlight of my career; to meet such a great man and a strong man and such a passionate man about sport and life will always stay with me.

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.

We stay as a team. I might be England captain, but that doesn't mean I get treated differently.

Our performance during this World Cup has not been enough to progress further and both myself and all the players regret that and are hurt more than people realise.

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

No one's ever really given me any style advice. I wear what I want, and it doesn't matter what other people think.

I don't think I have reached a plateau. I have just reached the level where I am today. But I need to go above it.
