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 was proper, proper fast at one point, and obviously I'm not now, so I've lost certain things, but when I was that fast I didn't need to do certain other things in a game. It was such a potent weapon.

I don't want to be modelling G-strings. It's not that good for my image – I'm a footballer not a tart

I wouldn't change my life for the world at the moment.

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

If you cut me in half, I'm a footballer.
