I Just Want To Be As Successful

Nelson Mandela Is My Hero Outside Of Football. I Was Fortunate Enough To Meet Him A Couple Of Times. He Was Really Clued Up On His Football And He Knew Me, So That Was Just Unbelievable. It Really Stuck With Me.

I've Put Myself Forward To Be Involved. Whether I Get Picked, We'll Have To Wait And See. Obviously Everybody Is Excited About It, About The Olympics Coming To London And The Football Being Played In Different Parts Of Britain.

Every Footballer Wants To Play Forever. And If You Are Going To Keep On Playing - To Enjoy It To The Full - You Want To Win Games, And As A Result, Trophies.

He Was A Professional Rugby Player In The Area That I Played As A Youngster. So A Lot Of People Who I Went To School With Knew Who He Was And Knew That He Was Black. So I Would Get Racist Taunts In School.

Looking At Me From The Outside, It Is Not Very Obvious, I Know Half My Family Is Black And I Feel Close To Their Culture And Their Color.
