My dad got me my first pair of boots. It was a big occasion for us to go to the shopping centre. It was an exciting time to make sure you got the right ones.

I always stick with the same pair if I am on a scoring streak. I wouldn't change them until I go a game without scoring.

I think I was 5ft 9in at birth.

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

I ve got a boot boy from the Youth team. His name s Kudos - he's a good lad and has been looking after me for a few years.

I am thrilled to be joining a club as prestigious and successful as Liverpool.

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.
