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.

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

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.

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

My Dad was briefly an Everton player and I used to follow them as a boy.

You are affected by the surroundings, the mood of people, by confidence. I am no different.

I don't get a lot of enjoyment out of sitting there for an hour and a half watching a game like we saw between Ireland and England last Sunday.
