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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

I take responsibility for myself and what I do now.
