You're on your own out there with ten mates.

If you look at football over the last 50 years there has been a gradual decrease in goals, you don't see too many 10-nils these days, but two, three or four goals per game is a good spectacle.

You always come back to earth with a thump at some stage. Life has it's ups and downs; the acid test is how you handle the downs.

I have a great family, good friends, a nice girlfriend, my own house. I have got everything how I want it to be.

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.

The Spanish league is fantastic, but it has not the great passion the English Premiership has got.

To be at the top, you have to have a competitive streak in you. If you're not performing, you've got to be angry with yourself.
