You can be the one - in - a - million. Don’t be discouraged by the odds to Succeed.
Soccer is a magical game.
I just want people to see me as a hard-working footballer and someone who is passionate about the game.
My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about 7.
I still look at myself and want to improve.
I am always going to have problems with the paparazzi. I have had two men outside my house for the last two years, which is frightening at times, but that is my life unfortunately.
Tom Cruise, he's a lot more famous than me.
I always used to go for blondes and quiet girls, but Victoria is the total opposite - dark and loud.
I love little kids looking up to me, young players looking up to me, respecting me.
One thing will not change - we will be going out to win.
I always wanted to be a hairdresser.
People react to criticism in different ways, and my way is definitely to come out fighting.
Everyone's been so quick to say that I'm really thick or I haven't got a brain. People will think whatever they want to think.
I have got this obsessive compulsive disorder where I have to have everything in a straight line, or everything has to be in pairs.
