Training's completely different now. It used to be a lot of running and work without the ball. Now it's all with the ball, which any player loves.

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

Every season will have its dips and hard moments, and the challenge then is to make sure you don't get too down in those moments and make sure you come back fighting.

I was always pretty good at school, but a lot of it was memorising, maybe cheating off your mates, stuff that gets you through.

I never relax on the year before. Every year I want to get more out of myself so I use it as a driving force, rather than a pressure thing.

There's so many kids out there and it's such a cut-throat world. I've seen a lot of my mates, you know, who are better players than me at a certain age, and they're not in football now.

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.
