I was always determined to make it as a footballer, but if things hadn't worked out, I'd have maybe followed my dad into the building industry.

I didn't sleep with the European Cup but it was in my room! It was just special and I just had to have the cup with me, lifting the cup as Liverpool captain was just the best moment of my life.

Against Juventus we were massive underdogs, so to beat them was fantastic.

It's too easy to blame other people in football.

I think we've got a lot players in the squad who are more suited to European football at the moment.

Football is all about winning things as a team but it's also important to pick up individual awards along the way.

Grilled salmon and brown pasta works for me every time.
