dad drawn naturally
To say that my dad pushed me is an understatement. I was never naturally drawn to football.
commitment dedication player
What makes the difference between a great player and just a normal player is dedication, work, commitment.
stars player long-ago
I can't understand why Scholes has never won the player of the year award. He should have won it long ago. Maybe it's because he doesn't seek the limelight like some of the other 'stars'.
enjoyed
I hope you have enjoyed watching as much as I have enjoyed taking part.
goal fans celebrate
Everybody knows how much I love Arsenal - I became a fan. And to be out here [in front of the Emirates as a statue] celebrating a goal against Tottenham, there's not much else to say after thatLike I've said before, Once a Gooner, always a Gooner.
wenger clubs never-forget
I’ll never forget the club or him I don’t see Arsenal without Arsene Wenger
differences balls moments
I take the ball, I go wide, I cross, I shoot, but when the moment beckons, I am ready to make the difference.
kings feet balls
King would get the ball off you without you even noticing he's the only defender in England who doesn't hold onto you, and he sometimes still gets the ball off my feet easily.
plans
I don't like to plan anything.
scared sometimes young
Sometimes being young and confident is better than being old with experience...when I was young I wasn't scared about anything
motivation kids home
The Barcelona youth program is one of the best in the world. At the age of just 27, he is already their record goalscorer in competitive, league, as well as continental games. He is a sensation, but still he can improve. When I was a kid, my friends would call me to go out with them, but I would stay home because I had practice the next day. My motivation comes from playing the game I love.
nice talking stuff
I have to say that when I was young, when any politician was talking I wasn't even interested. Maybe they were saying some nice stuff, but then if you put Michael Jordan on TV, I was interested!
retirement stopping retiring
No, because retiring is stopping. If I wanted to stop, I would have stopped.
block two firsts
There's just something about Highbury that is difficult to describe. When you first arrive, you hardly see the stadium and wonder where it is but then you find it between two blocks of flats
