My dad played rugby, so I used to watch a lot of rugby union and rugby league.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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

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.
