The press keep asking me but I will stop when I stop scoring. The problem is football is very ageist. When you reach 30, they keep talking about your age.

I am not a player to have regrets. I should have stayed at certain clubs longer, but I don't regret.

England was never my home. I had a home there but Dublin is my home so leaving Ireland was the hardest thing I had to do.

If I was English would I be respected a bit more? Yes, I think so, that's the truth.

In many ways Roy Keane is bigger than One Direction.

There are too many coming from different countries. When we started, foreign players were in the minority. All the best players from Spain, France, Brazil, Argentina are going to England. And Ireland is bound to suffer.

I get paid to play football, not to sit on the bench, I don't enjoy that. Over the years loads of players have been very happy to do that and pick up their money. That used to really wind me up.
