I' ve got quite narrow feet and they are size 12. I would sometimes get blisters when I was younger but fortunately I don t have much trouble with my feet nowadays.

Had I not become a footballer, I think I would have been... a virgin.

If I wasn't a footballer, I would be a virgin

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.

Fatherhood is sacred.

It was really hard to stay positive. And that's normally a talent of mine.

The responsibility will always go with the manager - you put out the team.

Write a little every day, without hope, without despair.

Even when there is no longer hope for the body, there is always hope for the soul.

It can get a bit boring working on accents.

Many of the concepts we once thought belonged to speculation or science fiction are now part of our understood reality.

A man with a good wife is the luckiest of God's creatures.

I've always wanted to be a songwriter and a storyteller and somebody who conveys a feeling to the listener or the viewer.

The whole drift of my education goes to persuade me that the world of our present consciousness is only one out of many worlds of consciousness that exist.
