The FA Cup means a lot. There is a real passion here for the competition which you don't get elsewhere. It's a love affair. It's part and parcel of living up here. People might think I'm daft, but I'm not wrong I'd rather win the Cup than the League.

I spend time with my family. I have got two daughters who are too young to know their Dad's a footballer. They just want to play with their Dad. I like to play golf, too, but apart from that, that's me, I'm afraid.

Any change of my style, the way I've played for 10 years, will not be a drastic one. Yes, I've always given as good as I've got as a forward you have to do that because, if you don't look after yourself, you might find yourself being thrown in a hole and buried.
