Playing for England was one long roller-coaster: some ups and downs, but also quite a few moments when you're not really sure if you're enjoying the ride.

There are some agents who do a good job looking after players but there are others who stifle and mollycoddle them.

Before games, the smell of burgers wafts down from the stands.

For sportsmen or women who want to be champions, the mind can be as important, if not more important, than any other part of the body.

Louis van Gaal is one of the most incredible coaches who's done a fantastic job in clubs all over Europe.

Will any club dominate again? Are any club set up to dominate again? When you look at the clubs that have dominated they've usually got a core five, six or seven players who can stay there for 10 to 15 years. There is a continuity with the management. I'm not quite sure at the moment that I'm seeing the decision making at any of the top clubs to be able to suggest that domination is actually achievable again. Maybe in the future, but I'm not quite sure it'll happen very soon.
