squad england young
I am still young and being the [England] squad is really good for me although I've still got a lot to learn.
years clubs titles
I'm a forward, but I can't be the only forward at a club. Over the years, the clubs who've won titles have had several strikers.
morning looks fit
When you get up in the morning and know you're doing something you love, feel fit and look after yourself, it's just a great thing to do.
sometimes
I prefer not to fly, but sometimes it's unavoidable.
fighting
When you've something to fight for, you get the best out of yourself.
dad cancer thinking
I had to tell Dad, 'It will be okay and be positive; keep praying and have faith'. I have always known about cancer, but to be around someone who has it and to see what it does in such a short space of time was hard. It makes you think about your life, about what is important.
football player games
For me, there's nothing that beats playing. When I'm not playing, I'll watch games on the television, watch stuff on You Tube, everything. I just live for football, love watching great players.
jobs team silly
I am doing my job and trying to win a game for my team. I shouldn't be getting racially abused; it's silly.
want buzz cups
I scored in a World Cup and I want that buzz again.
boys black looks
I've got a Ferrari 430. It's black. I don't know what it cost but it wasn't cheap. I bought it because I was being a boy. It's fast and looks good.
team real player
You want to play in the best stadiums against the best players - your Real Madrid's and Barcelona's - you want to play those teams.
girl lines cheeky
I don't do chat-up lines. Girls often tell me I'm cheeky. Being cheeky seems to work OK for me.
player play chance
When you play with good players, they will always create chances for the forwards to score.
player roles enjoy
The role that I play as a lone striker, I enjoy it and particularly playing with great players.
