I've got my own targets... To establish myself in the team and once you are a regular for Liverpool then England, recognition comes from that and hopefully this will prove the case.

I usually wear moulded boots for training, but I mainly wear studs in matches unless it s really dry.

My dad got me my first pair of boots. It was a big occasion for us to go to the shopping centre. It was an exciting time to make sure you got the right ones.

I wouldn't be here if I didn't believe I was good enough to be here and hopefully I can perform well for my club and try and get to the World Cup.

I am thrilled to be joining a club as prestigious and successful as Liverpool.

I always stick with the same pair if I am on a scoring streak. I wouldn't change them until I go a game without scoring.

Playing for my country is the pinnacle of anyone's career. There's a major tournament coming up so I'm looking forward to being a part of that.

I ve got a boot boy from the Youth team. His name s Kudos - he's a good lad and has been looking after me for a few years.

Dreaming is an option to be happy, dare to do so. If you are able! - you are halfway done. where happiness is a feeling, why not in a dream?

What's my favourite food? One you order out.

If I ever modelled for Calvin Klein I'd give myself to a flock of fans to beat me silly with a baseball bat.

What you do and learn in life physically changes what your brain looks like—it literally rewires it.

I’m waiting for my princess to come I just have to be patient.

Thought is a disease of the brain. The mind defends itself against the degenerative process of creativity; it begins to jell; notions solidify into inalterable systems.
