I take responsibility for myself and what I do now.

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

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

I don't know whether I will drink again in my life but I didn't drink yesterday, I am not drinking today and I'll try not to drink again tomorrow.

I would do those 2 years over and over again for the rest of my life

I had to accept that I was an alcoholic, that was the main thing. I think you've got to. But I try not say that I'm an alcoholic. I prefer to say that it's a disease I've got.

What is the world coming to when you get a red card and get fined two weeks' wages for calling a grown man a wanker?
