My Dad was briefly an Everton player and I used to follow them as a boy.

If you only ever give 90% in training then you will only ever give 90% when it matters.

I hate to admit this but I don't even know how to make a cup of tea or coffee. I can boil a kettle for a pot noodle and I've been known to warm up some food in the microwave.
