The big thing is, everybody says it's being in the right place at the right time. But it's more than that, it's being in the right place all the time. Because if I make 20 runs to the near post and each time I lose my defender, and 19 times the ball goes over my head or behind me - then one time I'm three yards out, the ball comes to the right place and I tap it in - then people say, right place, right time. And I was there *all* the time.

If someone in the crowd spits at you, you have just got to swallow it.

When you're winning games, everyone thinks everything the manager says and does is fantastic. Then it goes the other way, and those earlier criticisms of players can backfire.

The truth is I don't feel too bad for my age. I actually have a better shape now than I used to.

My wife Danielle and I love travelling, different cultures and good weather.

I try to avoid saying 'fantastic' too often and 'obviously' is a dangerous word for all broadcasters.

Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win.
