Looking At Me From The Outside, It

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.

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.

European Football Games Or Evening Games Seem To Take A Lot More Out Of You Because You Don't Sleep That Night. And As You Get Older, It Gets Worse.

I'm Not Comfortable Being Photographed, Though I Accept It Is Part Of The Job.

There's Never Been Completion In My Football Career Because I've Always Been Striving For That Next Thing. You Listen To People Who Have Finished And Nothing Replaces Playing, But I'm Still Excited About Not Having To Put My Body Through What I've Put It Through. And Not Feeling The Disappointment That I Feel.
