For Secret Santa a few years ago, I bought one of the lads I used to play with a block of cheese.

I am so proud of what I've achieved personally, but without the lads around me, nothing would have been possible.

I like a drink and enjoy being Jack the Lad. I've had a few scraps and spent a night in a cell.

There is only one thing I want to do here, and that is play football to the best of my ability. If I let things start distracting me, I'm not going to be able to do that, which will jeopardise the team as well.

You hear players in the past say that it's just a job for them, but for me, it is nothing like that. I literally wish I could play football every day.

Fitness has always been one of my strengths. I can do all the long-distance runs. When I was at school and we entered the competitions, I used to do the 100m, 200m, and the 1500m as well, so it's never just been a pace thing.
