I've Always Had People Come Up To

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.

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.

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

In My Career, There've Been Three Stages Really. There's Been The Stage When You Come Into A Team, You Don't Feel The Nerves, You Just Go Out And Play. Then Through Your 20s You Start Thinking A Lot More About The Games And What's At Stake. And Then, As You Get More Experienced Towards The End Of Your Career, You Enjoy It A Lot More And You're A Lot More Relaxed.

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.
