thinking training might
I've trained all my life. I've always been one who enjoys training so it's not something that I think I can just stop doing. It might not be as regular but I want to keep training.
football play normal
I'm just a normal young lad who plays football.
work goal want
You just want to keep playing consistently now and keep working hard and I'm sure the goals will come.
player careers important
You can learn more from the lows than the highs. The highs are great but the lows make you really look at things in a different way and want to improve. Every player will have both in their careers and I have, but what you get is that experience which is so important to perform at your best.
player games training
Some players don't like training and I've seen some players who aren't bothered if they play or not. But I want to play every game. Sometimes you have to rest in certain games, but I want to play in every game.
years games getting-high
Diving has been in the game for years. Probably the coverage the game gets now, with all the cameras around, it gets highlighted a bit more. But it hasn't got any worse.
country football team
Football's about the young players, bringing youth team players through to the first team and hopefully getting the best out of them so they can go on to play for their country.
inspirational cups world
We're going to do it. We're going to get to the World Cup.
player games mirrors
I'm not really that bothered by appearance. I know a few players who go off doing stuff in the mirror ages before they go out to play a game, but I'm not really interested in that.
inspirational fear winning
When you are 16 there is no fear whatsoever. As you get older you play in more important games and that is when you start thinking about what will happen if you win or lose.
player watches honest
Everyone who watches me play knows I am an honest player.
barbados
I love Barbados, it's really relaxing.
inspirational joining fields
I've matured since joining United, on and off the field.
eggs sausage would-be
I don't normally cook, but if I did it probably would be beans, sausage, bacon and eggs. I never really get to eat that to be honest.
