I'm Like Everyone Else: I Want To

I Have A Lot Of Good Football Talk With Cabbies, But When You Want To Get Somewhere In A Hurry, It Can Be Distracting. I Always Know They're Going To Want To Talk Football If 'talksport' Is On The Radio.

There's So Many Kids Out There And It's Such A Cut-throat World. I've Seen A Lot Of My Mates, You Know, Who Are Better Players Than Me At A Certain Age, And They're Not In Football Now.

I Always Wanted To Be A Winner, To Score Goals. There Was No Massive Bravery In Terms Of My Mum Passing Away And Stepping Up. I Just Wanted To Score. I Know Everyone Would Have Given Me A Pass On It If I Hadn't Taken It. But I'd Have Had The Hump With Myself If I'd Shirked It.

I Think About All My Successes And Failures And Sometimes The Failures Stick In Your Head As Much As The Wins. But You Do Move On.

I'm Not Silly. I Understand That, With Age And At Different Parts Of Your Career, You Have Different Challenges.
