I don't want to be modelling G-strings. It's not that good for my image – I'm a footballer not a tart

I don't particularly enjoy watching international football in the way that I used to. It hurts me to say that, but it's true.

The better the opposition put in front of you, the better your team plays.

I've always been a player that likes to get round the back and get crosses in for other people. When I first burst on to the scene some people only saw the goals I was scoring. More recently they've taken notice of the goals I've set up. It is nice to be recognized for that.

You need people who score goals. That's how you win games

There is no doubt that I would have won more honours had I signed for Manchester United as a youngster.

Best atmosphere I ever played in was at Celtic Park in the UEFA Cup for Liverpool.
