Playing as a striker is a nice role because I spent all my youth there so that's why I like it.

I've done so much in my career but a little part of me feels I still have unfinished business here in the Premier League.

Scoring a goal is always wonderful and gives any player confidence.

During your career, you have to make decisions. Sometimes maybe you don't make such a good decision and at the end you have to try and recreate a position.

I was adapted to European football after playing in Germany for three years, but English football is very different to the Bundesliga.

I grew up surrounded by tennis, so I was obviously more interested in it than football - particularly as it's the most popular sport.

I don't think people understand what microfracture surgery is. It's pretty serious. A lot of basketball players get it in their knees, and if they do bounce back, it takes a while.

I just didn't want to walk away from football without knowing what it meant to be a manager, or even wondering what it was like to be sacked.
