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

He was a professional rugby player in the area that I played as a youngster. So a lot of people who I went to school with knew who he was and knew that he was black. So I would get racist taunts in school.

Celebrity culture, it's everywhere, isn't it? It's reality TV, Big Brother. I didn't become a footballer to be famous, I became a footballer to be successful. I didn't want to be famous. Now people want to be famous. Why? Why would you want people following you about all day?

I just want to be as successful as I can in football.

As players, you just play for the club. I love Man United, I'm going to play for Man United, and that's what my focus is on.

I like to let my football do the talking, I'm respectful of other good teams such as Arsenal.

As a footballer I can't imagine life without the use of one of my legs... Sadly this is exactly what happens to thousands of children every year when they accidentally step on a landmine.
