“It's one thing I like about America - they respect the sportsman. They put them …” — David Beckham

I remember how inspiring it was to meet players like Bobby Charlton or Bryan Robson when I was a kid. I still remember Clive Allen showing up when I received a trophy for my Sunday league team.

I can't get through some movies without shedding a tear; I can't lie.

I think the most important goal I scored in Spain was the first one because people were wary about me coming over to Spain as a player - they thought I was just there to sell shirts.

People react to criticism in different ways, and my way is definitely to come out fighting.
