I've played at centre-half plenty of times before.

There have been ups and downs over the years, but that's in the past, and now I'm just looking forward and focussed on the future ahead.

I've had injuries that have hampered my career but that is part and parcel of being a footballer. You just have to bounce back and remain focused.

To be honest, from England Under-16s, through the 17s and 18s, really all the way through my youth career, I played at centre-half. For some reason, when I made my debut at Everton, I just played in central midfield, and it went from there.

I think the arts are absolutely necessary for children to be creative and express themselves because every child is different.

Money can't buy happiness. Or put my family back together.

I think football saves many people. It can give you a life of luxury, but people don't see all the effort that goes in behind the scenes. That might mean not seeing your family or missing your mother's birthday; many players are so focused that they miss the birth of their children.

It's pretty easy for me to say that the most important thing in my life is my relationship with Jesus Christ, followed by my relationship with family. And football's later on down the line.
