I've Always Had People Come Up To

A Lot Of People Don't Know That My Father Is Black

I Had An Early Taste Of Fame. I Was 20, Going Out With Tv Presenter Dani Behr And We'd Have Paparazzi Chasing Us. I'm Not Comfortable Being Photographed, Though I Accept It Is Part Of The Job. I Had To Ask Myself, 'what Comes First, Being A Celebrity Or Footballer?

Celebrity Culture, It's Everywhere, Isn't It? It's Reality Tv, Big Brother. I Didn't Become A Footballer To Be Famous, I Became A Footballer To Be Successful. I Didn't Want To Be Famous. Now People Want To Be Famous. Why? Why Would You Want People Following You About All Day?

You Get Yourself Prepared For A Big Game, You Get Yourself Up For It. Then Afterwards You Don't Sleep Or Eat Properly.

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.
