When I was younger, I had some close friends who always loved European football, and Real Madrid at that time were the dominant force. I remember family holidays when we used to go to Spain, and we'd bring back replica shirts of Real Madrid and pretend to be the players when we played in the park.

I've certainly not got any famous people's numbers on my phone. It's just not my thing, really.

I think La Liga is the best league in the world.

I was always looking out of the window, looking at my watch, thinking about when I could play football.

Every kid's dream is to play in the Champions League and to win it. To actually have achieved that was an amazing feeling.

I don't go out, so I don't get attention from girls. They're not going to have posters of me on their walls. I just try to get on with my life.

The most important thing is to not waste your money.
