Football is made up of all kinds of conflict. In a dressing room, between players, between us and the manager, between us and loads of people who don't seem to matter. It's constant and harsh sometimes.

If you look at my bookings, they've gone down each season. That's something I'm trying to keep improving. On the pitch you don't want any silly bookings

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

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.

If I'm staying in a hotel or I'm sleeping on my own I have the hairdryer on.

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

I just hate losing and that gives you an extra determination to work harder.
