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

England have players who can rattle anyone's feathers

I remember running around the park as a kid and pretending, shouting out 'Michael Owen in the cup final. He scores!' To actually fulfil that dream when you're older and score two goals made it just a magical day.

[Wayne Rooney] best tournament was the 2004 European Championships, when he played alongside me and made such a big impact, but it hasn't happened for him at the World Cup for one reason or another.

As everyone knows I've got a passion for horses.

There have been more things wrong with England than just Wayne Rooney in the last few years.

To be the best you have to forget partying and concentrate all your energies on the football.
