There is no doubt that I would have won more honours had I signed for Manchester United as a youngster.

I feel that every time I get the ball at the moment I am going to score.

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.

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.

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

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

You're on your own out there with ten mates.
