Over the years, I've had about 80 stitches in my head and face from football incidents and bar incidents, so I have lots of scars. I don't think I look intimidating, but I'm sure other people have their opinions.

I'd like to be the romantic lead one day, but I've got to grow my hair first.

The FA have given me a pat on the back. I've taken violence off the terracing and onto the pitch.

If all else fails, you could wait for the first corner and tie his dreadlocks to the goalpost.

I signed schoolboy forms for Watford when I was 12, but then my parents got divorced, and I never kicked a ball for three years. I rebelled, I left home, but getting back into football sorted me out. It was the second chance I needed.

Look at me - I was the boo boy for years and years. Did I ever think I would end up in Hollywood or the FA Cup final? No, I didn't.

I do my independent stuff where it's real acting if you like. Intense, drama stuff. I love me actions.
