I very rarely came across rude or disrespectful people. I don't know how I slipped by all of them, but I honestly can't think of one experience off the top of my head that was like that. I'm sure they're there, but I'd have to think really hard to recall them.

There will always be a few people who just want to knock you down or are jealous or just want to be horrible for the sake of it. I don't know what drives someone to be nasty.

The one thing I've learnt is that you don't want to be nasty about anybody, unless they've dropped dead. And the annoying thing is that most of the people that I know who've dropped dead are really great.

I think any time anybody says something nasty about you, it's hard to deal with it.

I have often seen people uncivil by too much civility, and tiresome in their courtesy.

I like to get on with people. I don't go around being nasty, but if someone crosses me, I can be horrible back.

I've never, ever had people being aggressive to me in public or abusing me, and actually quite a lot of men do say to me, 'You're quite good' - though they can't bear to go, 'You're great.'

I have never really encountered anybody that was rude to me. Well, not to my face anyway.

If somebody is mean or rude, I just, I don't engage - just block and say, 'Well, that's not very polite.'

That's my mentality. Just because somebody has fouled me, there is no reason for me to be nasty to him. I try to respect football as much as possible, and when someone is injured, you put the ball out.
