Everyone I know is fervently proud to be Welsh but you try not to be preachy about it. It's difficult at times. But when I go home to north Wales, or to somewhere I've never been in south Wales, I still feel at home because I'm in Wales. It's hard to explain.

If I had my time again and was able to change one thing from my career then I wouldn't have retired. I would have played for Wales longer.

I have won 85 caps and have had a great career with Wales and have enjoyed every minute of it.

Goal scoring is a recurring theme. If you aren't scoring then you aren't going to win games. That's obvious.

I think it's unfair to criticise someone for not being Welsh, but the smaller the nation, the more patriotic you seem to be.

I love everything about playing for Newcastle, the club, the fans and the city.

Everybody makes mistakes, but when goalkeepers make them, it is costly. That's the nature of being a goalkeeper.

I had a lot of times with Wales as well when we were getting beat - and beaten well - and you learn to deal with it. You learn that next time it happens, you roll your sleeves up and give everything for the team.

What's important is Welsh football and that it progresses.
