dad drawn naturally
To say that my dad pushed me is an understatement. I was never naturally drawn to football.
enjoyed
I hope you have enjoyed watching as much as I have enjoyed taking part.
wenger clubs never-forget
I’ll never forget the club or him I don’t see Arsenal without Arsene Wenger
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
talking people talking-about-me
People are talking about me more than they talk about Eastenders.
easy guys lose love mind players scoring sometime
The thing is, don't get me wrong, I still love scoring and I hate to lose but now I see myself more as making players play better. Sometime you do what you have to do and you have to perform, that is still there, but in my mind I am thinking about making the guys around me play better and that is never an easy thing to do.
people
So few people recognize me, I can do what anyone does.
arrive sure takes wear
That is something that I always want to do when I arrive somewhere is to know about the culture of the country, about the club and make sure I know what it takes to wear the jersey.
