I can't stress the importance of working hard enough, work on all aspects of your game. If you does that and you have the ability, you'll come through.

I'm not silly. I understand that, with age and at different parts of your career, you have different challenges.

I've always been a city person - London boy - and New York is just incredible. It has what London has but almost more in terms of variety, culture, social life, everything. I just like walking the streets and feeling the energy and the vibe.

If I ever have a son, I would call him Frankie, and it's a family name - it's my dad and my dad's dad, so you know, it sticks. I won't forget it.

In international football, you need pace and you need your players up top to create things out of nothing and run at people.

I am certainly not the most talented player in the world; there's many a more talented player than me.

I have a lot of good football talk with cabbies, but when you want to get somewhere in a hurry, it can be distracting. I always know they're going to want to talk football if 'Talksport' is on the radio.
