I've got no interest in football. My brother's a footballer, too, and I was dragged to the freezing pitch every week as a child. I don't see much glamour in it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Football brings you lots of lovely things, but then you have to realise that it's actually a job.
Money is not everything. My ambition was football itself, not the money I'd make from it. If that brings me and my family a more comfortable lifestyle, then that's fine. But I don't spend my time between games and training sessions thinking about figures.
In spite of reports about playing with various teams, I'm enjoying retirement with my family and have no plans to play football.
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.
People ask me about my interests outside football, but I haven't really got any.
Without football, my life is worth nothing.
Money is not a motivating factor. Money doesn't thrill me or make me play better because there are benefits to being wealthy. I'm just happy with a ball at my feet. My motivation comes from playing the game I love. If I wasn't paid to be a professional footballer I would willingly play for nothing.
I love football, I've never really taken an interest in anything else.
Nothing jazzes me up like football. I've acquired more passion of the years, not less. Not to love it wouldn't make sense.
I just want people to see me as a hard-working footballer and someone who is passionate about the game.
