A lot of people say you always come back to what you are good at. Football has been 25 years of my life, so maybe I'll come back to it in some sort of way.

I love playing football, being out on the pitch with a ball, and I will be a little sad when that ends.

My aim is to play as many games as possible and to go out and be one of the 11 players again.

People can say the money doesn't really matter but it does show you how much a club respects you.

The regular things in my life now - training sessions and playing matches - will all fall away. That will leave a big empty space and it will need to be filled.

When you beat a team so often - especially like this season when Chelsea had already lost three times to us - you know people expect you to do it again. But you also know they're going to be even more motivated to finally win.

So I took it as a very positive sign that the club came to me rather than the other way round.
