You learn, right, a lot of people's problems - why they get upset, why they get down, why they turn to drink - is because they can't say one word and it's N-O, no.

I like to help create team spirit in the dressing room. I feel that I've got loads of love to give.

I've got a bit of money in the bank. I'm quite comfortable.

I don't really do pranks any more. I have a laugh in the dressing room here, where it's safe, and the guys don't go to the papers and tell them what I've done.

I won player of the year and players' player, two cups and two championship medals, had a great time.

I'm a better person now, and not only that - I'm a better man

Everywhere I looked life seemed to be full of problems and they were just going to go on and on. It was never going to get any better.
