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.

I have never thought of a scenario where international football was not a massive part of our [England] game.

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

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.

I hate to admit this but I don't even know how to make a cup of tea or coffee. I can boil a kettle for a pot noodle and I've been known to warm up some food in the microwave.

I can't believe anyone can have played the game of football as well as Messi.

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