I got into moisturiser when I played football. If you're out in all weathers you have to take care of your face.

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

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

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.

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.

To me, England is past its sell-by date. It's not the country I grew up in.

I always want to try new things, and 'Mean Machine' has given me that chance. I have got plans to carry on acting and would love to play all sorts of roles - you'll see that there's more strings to my bow!
