From my point of view what I have to do now is appreciate and enjoy what football gave me, but now do something else with the same energy and enthusiasm I gave to football without expecting the same results.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I stopped playing football because I'd done as much as I could. I needed something which was going to excite me as much as football had excited me.
Nothing jazzes me up like football. I've acquired more passion of the years, not less. Not to love it wouldn't make sense.
The game of football is something I dearly love, and there's nothing else I'd rather be doing.
Football brings you lots of lovely things, but then you have to realise that it's actually a job.
When you are happy and playing regular football, that can make life a lot easier.
Football is what keeps me going, what makes me prosper, and what will keep me straight.
I love football and the intensity of football in Liverpool, this is what is very good for me.
I feel like I'd have a different approach to football now after doing music.
I am happy with everything I achieved in my football career. I don't think I could have done any more.
My life has changed, but I'm not money-motivated at all; that's the last thing on my mind. I just want to play football, and that's how I've always been.
