I love football, I've never really taken an interest in anything else.

Early on in my career I had a lot of bad press about my temperament, but I was only a young lad then.

When I was younger, I used to visualise myself scoring wonder goals, stuff like that.

When I was about 16, I got my ball taken off me by the police for playing in the street - which is pathetic really.

Pulling on your country's shirt is the greatest honour a footballer can have. It's what I always dreamed of as a kid and I get a buzz every time.

I am mentally strong.

I'd have to say Thierry Henry. From the ages of ten to 16, watching him in the Premier League was amazing and he scored all different types of goals - free-kicks, volleys, left foot, right foot. He was entertaining. He's probably the best centre-forward, I think, to play in the Premier League.
