For me, Lionel Messi is quite clearly the best player ever. It’s a pleasure to put myself against him and when I finish my career it’s something I can look back on and know I’ve tested myself against the very best.

Politics come from man. Mercy, compassion, and justice come from God.

I don't envisage I will be captain again, but for two England managers, Steve McClaren and Fabio Capello, I was their first choice and I'm proud of that.

The manager could not even talk to us at the interval. He said we were bad.

I'm really enjoying learning new ideas because eventually I want to become a manager myself so I'm gathering all this information from managers now and previously.

I like to play snooker, golf as well.

My mum dated a guy from Liverpool. The Liverpool fans made up a song that she 'loves Scouse c*ck'
