The longer my career has gone, the more I seem to score... It's experience and age and knowing where the ball's going to be.

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.

While the World Cup is great every four years, I think people struggle to get themselves excited about qualifiers against the smaller nations. It will take some good performances from the national team to get the feel-good factor back, as far as the England team goes at least.

It bothers me when I don't score.

I think it's getting tougher and tougher, all the big teams are getting stronger and there's more of them.

I have always been confident that I would make it to the top.

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