Looking at me from the outside, it is not very obvious, I know half my family is black and I feel close to their culture and their color.

I have played with some great players during my time at United but I would have to put Paul Scholes down as the best.

A lot of people don't know that my father is black

I am proud of my black roots and of the black blood that runs in my veins.

Every one is special. Especially after the disappointment of last year, losing out on the last day, it is a great achievement by the lads.

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.

Where does it stop? You get offered money for your wedding, then for your kids, new houses, holidays... We earn enough from football and sponsorships, why do you need any more?
