I have found a flat on Merseyside and am settling down here. If I can keep playing and get back to full match fitness, I know I have a lot to offer still.

I have been keeping myself fit. I am going on holiday next week in the Mediterranean so that I can really unwind after the football season and have a rest.

I am hoping to film another ad in the summer for Carte Noire.

I am still feeling my calf strain, so I have been unable to train this week. I will again have to sit out the weekend action, but the lads are climbing ever higher to safety.

I loved being back out on the pitch. Although I have not been in full training, I felt pretty good.

I went see the horror thriller, Hannibal. I am a massive fan of Anthony Hopkins. He is superb in the film.
