I am supposed to set an example to young players.

I don't know if we are the best team in the world. I am lucky to be playing alongside some of the best players around. It's a dream.

I am proud of where I come from and I will never forget the people I grew up with.

I was lucky to come from a difficult area. It teaches you not just about football but also life. There were lots of kids from different races and poor families. People had to struggle to get through the day.

Scholes is undoubtedly the best midfielder of his generation.

You rarely come across the complete footballer, but Scholes is as close to it as you can get. One of my regrets is that the opportunity to play alongside him never presented itself during my career.

It's the first time it's happened to me and maybe the last. It's a strange sensation, not normal for me. I can't remember scoring three goals, even when I was a kid.
