In my career, there've been three stages really. There's been the stage when you come into a team, you don't feel the nerves, you just go out and play. Then through your 20s you start thinking a lot more about the games and what's at stake. And then, as you get more experienced towards the end of your career, you enjoy it a lot more and you're a lot more relaxed.

I’d go for Scholesy as the club’s greatest ever player. I’ve seen him do things that no other player can do. The way he can control the tempo of games, and his range of passing, are both incredible. We’ve seen over the years that players just haven’t been able to get near him. And you can’t forget his goals either.

Many players want to make as much money as they can and change teams for ten grand. How is that going to make much difference to their lives?

There's never been completion in my football career because I've always been striving for that next thing.

If I feel I'm not influencing games, not scoring goals or making goals, then that's the time I'd pack it in.

Nelson Mandela is my hero outside of football. I was fortunate enough to meet him a couple of times. He was really clued up on his football and he knew me, so that was just unbelievable. It really stuck with me.

You get yourself prepared for a big game, you get yourself up for it. Then afterwards you don't sleep or eat properly.
