I have been inundated with offers to move into a career in television or film, and these, too, are tempting.

I am still feeling my calf strain, so I have been unable to train this week. I will again have to sit out the weekend action, but the lads are climbing ever higher to safety.

I played at the Sainte Maxime Beach Soccer Tournament, which was brilliant fun as usual.

I have shaved my head. My flowing locks are now quite a bit shorter.

I have been keeping myself fit. I am going on holiday next week in the Mediterranean so that I can really unwind after the football season and have a rest.

I loved being back out on the pitch. Although I have not been in full training, I felt pretty good.

I know the game wasn't a classic, but the night was about more than that-it was about bringing back the memories and raising money for former heroes who have now fallen on hard times.
