I would pass onto any young player to enjoy your football, play your football as you want to play the game, try and enjoy it and make the most of it.

My first memories are from when I was very little, maybe three or four years old playing in my neighbourhood at home. I can picture myself with the ball at my feet from a very young age.

One of the Arsenal players came up to me afterwards and said it had been an honor to be on the same pitch as me. I thought, My God, that is a great thing to say when your team has just lost.

I just get on with my game and let the referees do their job.

You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.

I'm lucky to be part of a team who help to make me look good, and they deserve as much of the credit for my success as I do for the hard work we have all put in on the training ground.

My motivation comes from playing the game I love.
