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

If players are performing for you, their age shouldn't really matter, especially because the older players can bring their experience to the table.

When I was at school, I wanted to be a lawyer.

There is such a belief in the squad that we could really do something.

Being faster would probably make me better at football.

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.

I think as far as kids go, you just have to work hard. Work on your skills, keep focused.
