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

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

You remember the finals you lose as much as the ones you win.

When you look at the caliber of players in the England squad and their ability, why should we go into the tournament fearing anyone?

I had a chance to go to Italy when I was younger and that would have been tough because of the language. America is easier but I really loved it.

I have never seen a player as driven and determined as me, quietly determined; that's why I always want to do the best.

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.
