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.

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 have got this obsessive compulsive disorder where I have to have everything in a straight line, or everything has to be in pairs.

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.

I'm not silly enough to think I'm going to change the whole culture ... but I do have a belief that soccer can go to a different level.

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.

I didn't expect it to come so quickly. It's been hard to keep up with. There's been articles in the papers that say I've got too big for my boots but people who know me say I'm just the same. Things have changed in my life but I haven't, too many people would knock me down if I did.
