All my life my priority was football, football, football. I was just fully focused on that and when my kids were born that focus changed gradually. I had something in my life that changed my perspective. You experience something that is more important than win, lose or draw.

The UEFA Cup is now what we focus on. It's a huge game for us in Rome and it's all to play for.

For most of my career I've been very lucky to have avoided major injuries.

I had plenty of offers to do sponsorships and TV commercials, but it's just not in me. I would love to get that out of me, but I just don't feel comfortable with it.

I wouldn't be bothered if we lost every game, as long as we won the league.

I am a Libra so I have to balance things.

Leading my country out at the World Cup was something I'll never forget.
