If I wasn't a footballer, I would be a virgin

I don t get through many pairs. Luckily enough they are very hard wearing.

Playing for my country is the pinnacle of anyone's career. There's a major tournament coming up so I'm looking forward to being a part of that.

I'm confident enough to say I was better than my mates! But with the different competitions I did play with some good players, who didn't make it for whatever reason. I was lucky enough to be able to do what I love, and my mates have continued to play at a lower level and really enjoy it, I know that's exactly what I'd be doing if I wasn't here today.

I think I was 5ft 9in at birth.

I usually wear moulded boots for training, but I mainly wear studs in matches unless it s really dry.

I've got my own targets... To establish myself in the team and once you are a regular for Liverpool then England, recognition comes from that and hopefully this will prove the case.
