I didn't want to be the rebel who was bottom of the class, so I worked hard. They wanted me to stay on for A-Levels, but football came calling - that was my real love.

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.

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

But what club wouldn't welcome the chance to strengthen their side, what club would turn down the resources Chelsea have?

Remember every team wants to beat Chelsea, probably even more than Manchester United or Arsenal because they believe we have an unfair advantage.

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've enjoyed every minute of travelling and playing for my country. What an honour that is.
