I never felt I would get to the stage where I would to have to actively think about retiring from international football as I always thought it would pass me by.

A difficult decision for the referee's assistant. I wouldn't beat him up over it.

I am hugely proud to have played for Ireland.

I wouldn't even mention myself in the same breath as someone like big Paul.

I enjoyed seven years at Wimbledon and there were high and low points.

I never felt I would be part of the international scene for 50 caps in my wildest dreams.
