Part of my preparation is I go and ask the kit man what colour we're wearing - if it's red top, white shorts, white socks or black socks. Then I lie in bed the night before the game and visualise myself scoring goals or doing well.

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

For me, Scholesy's the best footballer England has produced in my time. The way he controlled games, passed the ball, saw things that other players didn't see; it was a pleasure to play with him and United were lucky to have him for so long.

I love football, football is my life.

Growing up, watching the Premier League as far back as I can remember, feeling the trophy and having the medal around my neck was an unbelievable feeling.

We're going to do it. We're going to get to the World Cup.

When they talk to me, people say, 'I didn't expect you to be how you are.
