I have always said that the best feeling in the world is scoring a goal. Don't tell my missus that, but it is. When that ball hits the back of the net, it is fantastic.

I've got a great life that I really enjoy. But there is something chewing at me inside: that adrenaline rush from football, I miss that.

Newcastle fans never cease to amaze me. If there was a trophy for best supporters this lot would win it hands down every year.
