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?

No one is ever going to be as good as I was

I fought back, got injured again and I had to have another operation. I got down and depressed and I think I was drinking more than I should. Well, I know I was.

I've had 14 bookings this season-eight of which were my fault, but seven of which were disputable.

If the fans want me out, I'll put my hands up and leave. Like a proper man. I won't make excuses, I'll leave.

I'm going to do things when they are right for me.

I've learnt and I just want to be respected for what I've achieved on the pitch. I know I haven't achieved much off it but I do know I've given pleasure to people watching me play football over the years.
