I remember being in West Ham's youth team and seeing Jody Morris play for Chelsea at 17 and you scoring for Liverpool on your debut when you were 18. I was watching it on Soccer Saturday and I was like, "I can't believe he's scored!" It's professional jealousy. It's best to be honest about it. It gave me real desire. I was thinking "God I want that to be me".

My dad shaped the footballing side of me, and Mum shaped me as a person. I've always been very close to her - we've only ever had one argument, and that was over something stupid when I was 13.

To be honest, I was Mum's boy. Always was, always will be.

Barcelona are my favourite team in Spain, let's put it that way...

Every season will have its dips and hard moments, and the challenge then is to make sure you don't get too down in those moments and make sure you come back fighting.

When you take a lot of stick you want to ram it down people's throats.

I think about all my successes and failures and sometimes the failures stick in your head as much as the wins. But you do move on.
