Nobody expects a footballer to have any kind of an IQ, which is a bit of an unfair stereotype.

I had a fear of losing, a fear of what might happen if I had a bad game. Would I get dropped? I don't remember a lot of stuff in my career.

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

I'm not the kind of player to see out my time and sit with my bum on the bench too much. I want to be involved. That's my character.

Reading and writing is so important, and it's something I am really keen to promote. It's something that can be a bit lost these days with so much else going on.

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.

I think every player enjoys praise and I have to work extremely hard on the training ground to bring my game together.
