Two of my boys are Manchester United fans; one is an Arsenal fan. Whenever there is a game I can take the boys to, I love taking them.

I hope I become a better player day after day. This is one of my goals. I want to improve in every situation, but when you are playing along with top figures, it is a quality bonus and a bigger effort. Besides, the Spanish Liga also gives you the chance to progress and improve.

That goal [in the 1998 World Cup] changed me-not as a person, but as a player. People have looked at me differently ever since. It gave me confidence and now I feel I can achieve anything.

I'm a big fan of old boots.

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.

To play with Zinedine Zidane was the biggest honour I have had in my career...

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