I Hate Talking About Football. I Just

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.

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.

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.

I Get Paranoid About People Staring At Me. Even Now I Don't Deal With People Looking At Me. I Can't Do It Sometimes. I Can't Go Out. I Don't Know How To React When People Stare.

To Say That I Haven't Been Motivated To Play Is Absolute Nonsense.
