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.

My parents split when I was 13. For a youngster, it's quite devastating. One minute you're all happy families, then everything changes.

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.

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

I always went to Ireland as a child. I remember trips to Dundalk, Wexford, Cork and Dublin. My gran was born in Dublin, and we had a lot of Irish friends, so we'd stay on their farms and go fishing. They were fantastic holidays - being outdoors all day and coming home to a really warm welcome in the evenings.

My mum calls my temper 'Devilman.' They say you calm down with age, but I don't know. It never goes away.

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