Its like a Contiki tour, getting on and off buses, getting pissed.

Ryles and I were looking around at the calibre of players in this side, you do think ... you are very lucky to be here. Especially with Jesus, Andrew Johns, we call him Jesus, isn't even here yet.

I've been flogging myself to keep my fitness up there.

The media character-assassinated me and perceived me as this monster. When you look at my record ... I jumped a taxi as a 21-year-old, which I'm sorry for, and I urinated twice in public. That's in 11 years of football. I've never assaulted women and never been done for drink driving. My conscience is clear.
