Henry had taken striking on to a different level

Best players I played with? Striker wise, well, I had a great record with Emile Heskey - he would be one of my favourite partnerships because we were so different and worked together so well.

I was proper, proper fast at one point, and obviously I'm not now, so I've lost certain things, but when I was that fast I didn't need to do certain other things in a game. It was such a potent weapon.

I have never thought of a scenario where international football was not a massive part of our [England] game.

When you put better teams in front of you, that's when the big players rise to that occasion.

The Champions League is more interesting to watch than international football and the quality is superior as well.

Scholesy was a genius, absolute genius. He was a center-forward's dream, you could make a run and he'd put the ball perfectly in your path. Any footballer you ask will always tell you that Scholesy was one of the best players they've ever played with.
