We used to go to the pictures every Saturday night but we had to leave a little bit early and get home and watch Match of the Day - and my wife still complains she missed the last five minutes of every film we saw.

At least with me, the match starts much, much earlier than the actual match.

I do miss competing, being out there - the atmosphere, I do miss it.

I miss horribly those couple of hours before the performance when you get into the theater and you see people.

It was a long, hard, tough day. We managed to just sneak through, it was an unbelievable Test match.

'Match of the Day' is a great programme to be on. It's a programme I used to be allowed to stay up and watch from the age of 10, so to think that one day I'd actually appear on it was great.

I feel this pang of regret whenever I watch sport; this sense that I will never play a big match again.

So when I go home, sometimes, even when I had an amazing game, I always think about what I missed.

I've been to Wembley a couple of times to see England, but the match which stands out for me is the 2008 Carling Cup final against Chelsea. I was there as a fan with the family. That was a great day out.

I'm not a big fan of watching my matches.
