I think most players would love, at one stage in their career, to say, 'I've been No. 1 in the world.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You have to consistently be successful to be one of the top players in the world, and everything is possible in life.
Being No. 1. It's talked about all of the time in hip-hop. 'I'm still No. 1! I'm the best! I'm the greatest of all time!' It's the same mentality in sports.
Just to be able to say you're No. 1, you are the best golfer on the planet, just for one day, would be the best thing ever. Knowing that you were the best in the world would be pretty neat.
I'm still trying to be No. 1 in the world, like everyone else is out there.
At the end of the day, I'm a footballer who has played at some of the biggest football clubs in the world and played with some of the best players in the world.
To be the world No. 1 has always been a dream for me.
As someone who loves being on the field with his teammates, it's hard to hear that you're not going to be the one playing.
I'm not that good a player, and I'll be the first to admit that. I might be a three or four grand-slam winner; I might be a two grand-slam winner, I don't know.
I want to be more than just some guy who played in a World Cup final.
If I'd still been in one piece from the World Cup and gone through my career, what type of player would I have been? No doubt about it, if I hadn't had as many injuries I would have been the all-time leading scorer for England.
