I used to love watching him as a player, so it is a joy to play alongside him. I might take the mickey out of him, but deep down I have so much admiration for him.

I am happy at Leeds and I want to stay. There has been talk that Leeds might sell some players, but all the players believe we can win some silverware next season and it is important that we are all kept together.

We have a great sense of togetherness. It is our team spirit that has taken us to this World Cup.

Qualifying for the second stage would be a successful World Cup for us. I think we can do it.

Top players don't come much topper than Gerrard and Carragher

It's always nice to start off with a good result.
