  • I just get up in the morning and say: ‘Yeah man, I’m ready to score goals.’
  • The best thing about football is that the rules are so simple. Anyone can play anywhere.
  • I’ve always been a religious person, and I try to think that every disappointment might just be a blessing in disguise.
  • Before games, people ask whether I get nervous. To be honest, I don’t get nervous, I just enjoy it. I am living the dream. When I was a kid I always wanted to play for my country and now I am here, I will enjoy it.
  • There is always going to be competition. When you play for a top club, you’re going to attract top players. It’s part and parcel of football.
  • I understand it’s difficult but you’ve got to think about yourself, you know, and not just follow the crowd.
  • I don’t know about anyone else, but if I had problems or issues maybe I wouldn’t feel as comfortable talking about them in a group.
  • I had to tell Dad, ‘It will be okay and be positive; keep praying and have faith’. I have always known about cancer, but to be around someone who has it and to see what it does in such a short space of time was hard. It makes you think about your life, about what is important.
  • I don’t feel like I’m getting older. I think it’s the way I’ve looked after myself. I take my football seriously. I love scoring goals and I get a good feeling from it, so I’ll do whatever it takes to be fit and feel good in games.
  • I don’t do chat-up lines. Girls often tell me I’m cheeky. Being cheeky seems to work OK for me.
