firsts commodity persons
Houllier did what he had to do – I’m not the first person to be treated like a disposable commodity
doubt able normal
Maybe if I'd not been able to kick a ball it would have been different, but I doubt it because all my mates are decent blokes now, just normal fellas with families.
special routine would-be
Nothing had changed in my routine, except that when I went down the chippy and got me special fried rice, it would be wrapped in a newspaper that had my picture all over it.
hate kids thinking
I used to hate Ian Rush when I was young, because I was a devout Evertonian in those days, and he seemed to score every time Liverpool played against us. It's strange to think he used to support Everton too when he was a kid. He was brilliant to me at Anfield always giving me good advice.
england honest frightening
Honest to god, I'm so happy it's frightening! I'm just so chuffed - that's all I can say. (on playing for Liverpool again)
kids thinking england
I don't really think kids care much these days - they just tell you to f*** off.
commitment passion games
Stuart is good for Manchester City. It is not hard to see his passion for the game, and his commitment. (on Stuart Pearce)
player thinking shadow
The best player EVER (Leo Messi) without a shadow, if you didn't think/know already...
needs shooting
Anyone who doesn't learn from Ian Rush needs shooting.
retirement player games
I don't want people losing respect for me as a player. I want to go out in every game and perform to the highest level. I have no retirement plans. I've had a lot of injuries but I want to continue playing.
goal matter mark
A goal is a goal no matter which end it goes in. I'm pleased to get off the mark again.
trying my-family
The money I try and earn is for my family. It's not for me. It's always about my family.
football kids decision
As a young kid, I wasn't really interested at that stage - getting financial advice was far from my mind. I was focused on playing football. But I got onboard with this financial adviser and I heeded his advice, and that was my smartest money decision.
christmas kids first-love
If you pray enough for things, I am proof that they can happen. I feel like a kid on Christmas day now, every day. It's something I have wanted for a long time and I am as happy as anyone to be here. It is great to be back at my first love.
