If You Want To Have A Great

I Made No Secret Of The Fact I'd Love To Stay In Football And To Do That, You Need Badges. I'm Starting Them And That's The Next Step For Me - To Continue This Next Season.

I Have Always Said That The Best Feeling In The World Is Scoring A Goal. Don't Tell My Missus That, But It Is. When That Ball Hits The Back Of The Net, It Is Fantastic.

There Is Another Side To Me Which People Don't Often See, But It's Very Hard For Me To Show That. When I Do Interviews, I'm Talking To People I Don't Know And When You Speak To A Stranger You Don't Open Up, Do You? In My Position, People Are Always Looking For Something To Say About Me. And Anything I Do Say, Given Half-a-chance They'll Turn It Round Into Something Spectacular So I've Got To Be Very Careful. That's Why It's Only My Friends And Family Who Know The Real Me. Now My Wife, Lainya, She Could Tell You A Few Stories.

I've Turned Down Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus And Manchester United To Play Here. I Hope Everyone Already Knows How Much It Means To Me To Play For Newcastle United.

As A Kid I Always Wanted To Be A Centre-forward. I Wanted The Buzz And Thrill Of Scoring Goals From An Early Age.
