I Never Felt I Would

I Find The Growing Intervention By The Football Authorities In Strictly Footballing Matters A Rather Worrying Trend.

Looking Back I Find It Hard To Believe That I Could Forge A Career In Anything Other Than Football But I Didn't Do Too Badly In My Final Exams And There Were A Few Business-related Courses That Interested Me.

I Became More Confident Within Myself And Matured As A Person And Become A Little Bit More Opinionated - Maybe The Lads Might Say A Little Bit Too Opinionated For Their Liking But That Is Just A Natural Progression For A Player.

I Wouldn't Even Mention Myself In The Same Breath As Someone Like Big Paul.

I Never Felt I Would Get To The Stage Where I Would To Have To Actively Think About Retiring From International Football As I Always Thought It Would Pass Me By.
