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.

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

There are a few YouTube clips of me singing at The King's Head in Santa Monica, so you can see how bad I am.

I like Alaska for the salmon fishing - it's fantastic there. I usually stay in a log cabin with no one around for miles. I like to go with friends, but I'm also happy to be on my own with nature.

Football became my life at five or six. The earliest memory I have is of playing in my first boots, a pair of black and white Alan Balls. It was 1970, four years after the World Cup, and I scored three goals at school.

I'm always have been in my life a big protector of women. If I see a guy slap a girl I would rip their head off; I'm very like that.

I've always had my ear pierced with a diamond stud. I did it myself when I was 16.
