When I see the Bill Shankly statue, I look at the sentiment on the base. It says: 'He made the people happy’. Well now the modern Liverpool is making the fans and the city happy. And that makes me so proud.

You have different levels of players. There's are Premier League, international and world-class levels. The world-class level is players at the peak of their career and there's only maybe 50 maximum in the whole world. Stevie moved from a Premier League player to an international player and then world class.

We don't have any splits here. The players country is Liverpool Football Club and their language is football.

I want to keep an English heart to the team. I believe in that. Michael Owen is that. Never think Michael is afraid of anything.

Liverpool players must play like a lion, give his all. There must be determination, commitment and resolve to be a Liverpool player.

Today you play for a place in history, today you play for immortality.
