We've got some talented people in my family in regards to football, and we do it the right way.

I come from a very sporting family and played many sports as a lad.

The town, the team, it's a family. That has helped. For some people who have had to deal with some of the problems I have had to deal with don't have football as an out.

I come from a family where soccer has always been very present. My uncles, my father and my brother were all players.

I've been in football a long time and people have problems through debt, drugs, drink and family.

My family has always been there to support me along the way. My coach, John Nicks, is a great influence.

So my dad raised me, and he's a huge football fan.

I've learned a lot from my mistakes, stumbles, and losses in football.

I attribute my entire football career, as far as getting me started, getting me interested, keeping me that way was my father. He went to every game even though he was crippled and wasn't real healthy.

I feel I have a lot to learn from English football and I am completely open to good influences in my way of thinking football. But I also have things to give them.
