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.

I don't believe in superstitions. I just do certain things because I'm scared in case something will happen if I don't do them

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 think nowadays Manchester United is more competitive than it's ever been. Obviously, over the last one or two decades, they've always had one challenger or two challengers maybe, whether it be Arsenal or Chelsea.

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.

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