I don't picture myself as a normal person when I play football, and I don't think anyone else pictures me that way as well.

As a kid, you obviously dream of being a professional footballer. I would watch players like Ronaldo of Brazil and pretend to be him in the playground. But I don't think about trying to become one of the best in the world or anything like that. I just play football.

I wanted my children to be able to see me play at the World Cup.

My ultimate goal is for that next generation coming up, who didn't see me play, go, 'Oh, he used to play football?'

I was very poor. As a child my dream was to have a leather football.

I have been playing football since I was 7.

I thought I was funny as a kid.

I was really just too small for football.

As a kid, I had to be funny.

I always told my dad I'd play professional football.
