“I’ve been very lucky. I’ve played for great clubs: Derby County, Oldham Athletic, Sheffield Wednesday, Burnley, Stoke City and now – best for last – Manchester United!”
“I would like to thank all the clubs for everything they have taught me. Each of the people I met have forged who I have become. The relationships I had with the supporters of all these great clubs will always remain preciously engraved in my memory. “
“There are too many amazing people in the world of football to thank! I have had so much help from so many great people in 23 years! I still want to especially thank my family and especially my wife Helen for traveled around the country with me, allowing me to pursue my dreams. Football has given me so many things but it can often cause difficult times for our partners or our children. Without them, nothing would have been possible. “
“Now that I am heading towards the next step in my career, I remain enthusiastic and I am still hungry. I want to achieve other things from the start of this new page that is turning for me. There are still a lot of hard work that comes before me,” he concluded dreamily.
