You've got to have a dream... if you don't have any big dreams, nothing happens.

When Jason Koumas is on form, he's the type of player who calls all the strings

People say you should go out at the top but I was enjoying my football so much. Robbie Fowler's exactly the same: he's not playing for money any more, he's playing for enjoyment. Why go out at the top if it's going to make you miserable? I just wanted to play as long as I could.

I was so shy when I was younger. When I first went to Liverpool I didn't say a word for a year.

I like the Stereophonics. I know the lead singer, Kelly Jones, and theres the Welsh connection.

It's best being a striker. If you miss five then score the winner, you're a hero. The goalkeeper can play a blinder, then let one in… and he's a villain.

Even all the top players going to Europe to play helps soccer in America, as do all the MLS players like Beckham and all that, they're trying to promote it. At the end of the day it's about getting the younger generation interested at an early age so most of them will move on and play.
