I have always passed the ball and worked on that part of my game.

In the past I've had a bad injury, and then struggled when I've got back because I've been unfit.

People ask me why I keep getting injured but I have just had to accept it is one of those things that happen.

Gareth Bale literally has three lungs

It's a horrible feeling - there's nothing worse for any player than to be thinking at the back of your mind that there's something wrong with you.

The ball was coming down like a butterfly with sore feet.

I haven't counted, obviously, but I reckon I've lost over a year and a half of my career through injury so far.
