I was a boy, suddenly treated like the men and expected to act like them.

I get paranoid about people staring at me. Even now I don't deal with people looking at me. I can't do it sometimes. I can't go out. I don't know how to react when people stare.

I don't really think kids care much these days - they just tell you to f*** off.

Houllier couldn’t deal with players expressing any anger or questioning any of his decisions

A goal is a goal no matter which end it goes in. I'm pleased to get off the mark again.

Maybe if I'd not been able to kick a ball it would have been different, but I doubt it because all my mates are decent blokes now, just normal fellas with families.

I hate talking about football. I just do it, you know?
