I don't get involved in football! I haven't got a sporty bone in my body.

There's no doubt about it; playing football and how tough it is on the body afterwards.

There are two types of football - there's physical football and football talent.

People think footballers are all like robots - we can control everything on the pitch. But your heart is beating 200 times a minute; it's very, very physical.

I know a lot of athletes and models are written off as just bodies. I never felt used for my body.

Some of football's gaudiest displays of manliness are purely aesthetic. It's not what players do, it's how they look doing it.

There seems to be this thing in football where everything has to be... now!

As football players, our bodies know exactly what time of year it is and what we need to be doing.

Darts players are probably a lot fitter than most footballers in overall body strength.

There's definitely football in the blood, but my body made my decision for me that I was going to be an Olympic athlete instead.
