I think I've lost a lot of my gay fans to Gavin Henson. It's a shame because I really love them.

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

I don't think I'm really in a situation to complain, because I consider myself to be privileged to be doing what I do.

Like any parent, I just want the best for my kids, whatever they decide to do. They will choose what path they want to follow, and we will always be there to encourage them.

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.

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've felt a little tired, but I'm only 24. I love playing football. That's my job and that's what I love doing.
