“I can’t think of a striker in the world who has scored so many important goals, never mind a midfielder.”

You can never have enough trophies. If there were ten to be won a year I’d want to win them all! That’s not being greedy, it’s just a natural thing.

I can’t understand why Scholes has never won the player of the year award. He should have won it long ago. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t seek the limelight like some of the other ‘stars’.

But, at the moment, when I step on the pitch, when I have the ball I know it’s mine. It’s just a feeling.

When I was 20 or 21, I didn’t… I won’t say care about anything, but you’re like in your own world – you made something that you always wanted to do, and then you kind of think only about your family and yourself.

I hope you have enjoyed watching as much as I have enjoyed taking part.

People are talking about me more than they talk about Eastenders.

The moment I’ve got a ball at my feet, I’m happy.

It is important for me to feel at home.

When you look at other sports, like golf, the players earn a lot more money without running around.

I’m still young and everyday I want to learn more. I feel I am beginning to find myself.

I am not a cheat and never have been.

What I believe is this: Catalunya is not Spain, it is something else and you have to feel it.

There’s nothing I’m scared of in football.

There’s just something about Highbury that is difficult to describe. When you first arrive, you hardly see the stadium and wonder where it is but then you find it between two blocks of flats.

But one thing you need to do in the game, is to adapt and adjust your game to what you have been asked to do and also to what your body is telling you to do.

What makes the difference between a great player and just a normal player is dedication, work, commitment.

Sound strategy starts with having the right goal

Setting up a system that rewards you for meeting your goals and has penalties for failing to hit your target is just as important as putting your goals down on paper.

Beware of looking for goals: look for a way of life.

The first step to achieving your goal, is to take a moment to respect your goal. Know what it means to you to achieve it.

Who is God? Who are we? What is our purpose? All these questions remain unanswered. I want to reach the genuine seeker of spiritual well-being. My goal is to satisfy the hunger and longing for those who are seeking the truth.

If your goal is anything but profitability – if it’s to be big, or to grow fast, or to become a technology leader – you’ll hit problems.

Without a goal analytics is aimless and worthless.

There is nothing wrong with having a good job, there is nothing wrong with having a nice house, there is nothing wrong with that. There is something wrong when that is your goal.
