“I've been playing at a professional level for 17, 18 years now, and there's more…” — Craig Bellamy

I have so much to look forward to after football.

Life isn't just about football. The adventure starts when you finish, and I'm looking forward to that.

I'm aware of my value as a player, of course. But do I need to buy a holiday home that I'm only going to use two weeks every year? Course not. It's a waste. Why not give the money to people who could do with it.

I've always had this crazy thought that I have to win something; otherwise, my career's a complete failure. It's ridiculous. Will a trophy change me as a person? No. Will it make me a better player? No. So what the hell am I worried about?
