When You Lose A Game Or Don't

I Have Played With Some Great Players During My Time At United But I Would Have To Put Paul Scholes Down As The Best.

I Think After A Big European Game You're Looking At Four Or Five Days. For Two Days Afterwards I Don't Really Do Anything. I Do A Recovery The Next Day, Which Is Bike Work, A Light Stretch, Some Yoga And An Ice Bath After That. Then The Second Day I Would Just Do The Bike Again For 20 Minutes And Then Do Some Strides, Which Is Box To Box, Just Eight Of Them, Just To Get The Legs Going And The Blood Going Again.

I Had My Footballing Heroes Such As Bryan Robson And Diego Maradona But My Dad Was A Rugby League Star, And He Was My Real Hero. But The Relationship With My Mum Was Rocky And We Saw Things That Would Affect Any Youngster.

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?

What You've Got To Realise Is That Footballers, And Me In Particular, Have Seen Everything In The Changing Room. Everything. I've Seen The Manager Kicking Off With The Players, The Players Kicking Off With Him, Players Fighting Each Other, Managers Fighting, Everything.
