football thinking games
I don't feel like I'm getting older. I think it's the way I've looked after myself. I take my football seriously. I love scoring goals and I get a good feeling from it, so I'll do whatever it takes to be fit and feel good in games.
morning men goal
I just get up in the morning and say: 'Yeah man, I'm ready to score goals.'
football simple play
The best thing about football is that the rules are so simple. Anyone can play anywhere.
religious disappointment thinking
I've always been a religious person, and I try to think that every disappointment might just be a blessing in disguise.
elated forward took
It took a little deflection but it was good, I was elated with the goal. Going forward we were the better team.
It's been at the back of my mind.
thinking important sometimes
I think my faith is important. Being young as well, sometimes it's difficult, but I've got a good family behind me as well.
thinking crowds difficult
I understand it's difficult but you've got to think about yourself, you know, and not just follow the crowd.
games manager wants
I know the manager has said he wants to see more of me and, hopefully, I can get some more games for Spurs.
great squad
We've got a great squad now and great players.
