I Come From A Football Family Which

I'm Not The Kind Of Player To See Out My Time And Sit With My Bum On The Bench Too Much. I Want To Be Involved. That's My Character.

I Loved Reading Roald Dahl When I Was Young But I Had Forgotten A Lot About The Books. I Read The 'bfg' On The Ipad The Other Day And It Was So Interesting To See His Descriptions Of Clothes And Places.

My Dad Being A Player. I Was Never That Quick As A Kid, So I Had To Get Quicker. I Trained Hard. I Was Never That Player Who Could Roll Out And Relax, Like Michael [ Owen] Or Stevie [ Gerrard], Who Were Natural.

Even With The Quality Of Players That We Have, They're An Extremely Hard Side To Break Down And Once They Get On Top Of You, You Find It Difficult To Stem The Flow Of Attacks.

I Never Relax On The Year Before. Every Year I Want To Get More Out Of Myself So I Use It As A Driving Force, Rather Than A Pressure Thing.
