Sometimes to go forward you've got to go to the depths of your own personal despair and claw yourself back. From that point, no matter what happens, you know you can do it.

It's an incredible rise to stardom. At 17 you're more likely to get a call from Michael Jackson than England manager Sven Goran Eriksson.

If I was English I'd kill myself

I'm just going to crumble like a wreck. I'll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe! jump of a bridge.

I'm going to miss his childlike laugh. I'll forget the goals but I'll never forget that laugh.

I want players who are always striving to improve.

You people sometimes are like those serial killers you see in films who cut out the words 'I am going to get you' or 'your wife is next'.

Allow whatever this moment contains. No matter what event or happening or situation, say 'yes' to it. Allow it to be.

It is the weak man who urges compromise - never the strong man.

Poetry is easier to learn than prose. Once you have learned it you can use it as a light and a laser. It shows up your true situation and it helps you cut through it.
