For me, the biggest idiot will always be John Terry.

Best player? For me, it's Paul Scholes. He'll do ridiculous things in training like say, “You see that tree over there?” - it'll be 40 yards away - “I'm going to hit it”. And he'll do it. Everyone at the club considers him the best.

Our lives are quite boring. I spend a lot of time watching Coronation Street and Eastenders.

Most professional players are their own biggest critics. Some of the things you read in the papers that strike you as bang out of order will already have been thought by the players themselves

Who were the best players I had ever played against? Raul, Messi, Zidane.

Do you know who I am? Why, have you forgotten?

At times, European football can be very slow but it speeds up in the final third.
