Being a footballer was about analysing performance, never being satisfied, seeing what lessons you can learn and who you can learn from.

Football is for everyone, no matter what background you're from, what age, what level you play at. This is what it's all about: coming out today, having a good time, and getting involved.

You'll be someone's favourite, and someone else is going to hate you, aren't they? I know that I can't please everyone, but what I can do is be myself and be true to my values.

My hardest lesson has been my most fruitful, too: that when people don't believe in me, I can prove them wrong.
