Liverpool fans were great to me, I still live near the city and they always come up and shake my hand.

The best player I've ever played with was Paul Gascoigne. He had everything. He was amazing.

I don't like publicity, being in the limelight.

I am happy to be a role model for anybody - whether they are black, white, yellow, pink or purple.

I like to knuckle down and get on with my job. I'll make mistakes, I'm bound to, but I'll write them down and I'll learn from them.

Marcel Desailly was pretty hard when I played against him in a Milan derby.

I love tackling, love it. Its better than sex.
