I'm not going to say something I shouldn't. In that way, I was probably the perfect guy to play in New England.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The fact is that I loved being in England.
I liked New England.
I was not a very good football player when I started out.
Before there was any chance to go to England, I changed schools, and it was rugby from there on in.
I started out in Scotland, not as a footballer of any note, and I didn't play to draw the attention of people abroad.
Anytime you play New England, you know it's going to be a challenge.
My record shows that I'm not the kind of player who wants to change clubs every season, and I would have no problem playing in England for many more years.
Playing in New England and the Boston area, the fans are so passionate about their sports if you don't play well, they'll let you know so I know it's not something that they take lightly.
I wasn't picked for any of the sports teams at school because I was half the size of everyone else, but now everyone assumes I must have been some sort of rugby player.
They said I couldn't play anything but an English boy. I knew I could. So I went to New York.
