People say you should go out at the top but I was enjoying my football so much. Robbie Fowler's exactly the same: he's not playing for money any more, he's playing for enjoyment. Why go out at the top if it's going to make you miserable? I just wanted to play as long as I could.

You've got to have a dream... if you don't have any big dreams, nothing happens.

I was so shy when I was younger. When I first went to Liverpool I didn't say a word for a year.

I couldn't settle in Italy - it was like living in a foreign country.

And the things that we fear are a weapon to be held against us.

Playing in Italy was like being in a foreign country.

It's best being a striker. If you miss five then score the winner, you're a hero. The goalkeeper can play a blinder, then let one in… and he's a villain.
