I hope this match never ends. When the match ends, the memories begin.

When Cristiano Ronaldo gets the ball, you can just leave him to it while he beats player after player.

Messi is probably the best player of the last 20 years.

European football games or evening games seem to take a lot more out of you because you don't sleep that night. And as you get older, it gets worse.

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

Where I grew up, people obviously knew my dad because it's a small place and he was the top player for Swinton - they'd go and watch him play, see him in the papers, so they knew he was black.

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.
