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've always had people come up to me to say that they admire the way I play, and then they tell me they're not United fans. That's always been nice.

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

I do not wish to hide my origins, nor do I seek to make it a subject of conversation. I am what I am.
