I Am Proud Of My Black Roots

Where Does It Stop? You Get Offered Money For Your Wedding, Then For Your Kids, New Houses, Holidays... We Earn Enough From Football And Sponsorships, Why Do You Need Any More?

Where I Grew Up, People Obviously Knew My Dad Because It's A Small Place And He Was The Top Player For Swinton - They'd Go And Watch Him Play, See Him In The Papers, So They Knew He Was Black.

My Dad Played Rugby, So I Used To Watch A Lot Of Rugby Union And Rugby League.

In My Career, There've Been Three Stages Really. There's Been The Stage When You Come Into A Team, You Don't Feel The Nerves, You Just Go Out And Play. Then Through Your 20s You Start Thinking A Lot More About The Games And What's At Stake. And Then, As You Get More Experienced Towards The End Of Your Career, You Enjoy It A Lot More And You're A Lot More Relaxed.

There's Never Been Completion In My Football Career Because I've Always Been Striving For That Next Thing.
