No one's ever really given me any style advice. I wear what I want, and it doesn't matter what other people think.
As a footballer you always want to test yourself against the best.
I dream a lot about football and a lot of them have come true for me.
Our performance during this World Cup has not been enough to progress further and both myself and all the players regret that and are hurt by that more than people realise
I'm a strong person, I'm a strong family man, I'm a strong husband and a strong father.
I've got my wife. I've got my four kids. I've got parents, grandparents still, and three really good friends. It's all you need. I'd rather have three really good friends than 20 good friends.
Wayne's like my son, Brooklyn, who goes out in the garden to play and have fun.
I didn't expect it to come so quickly. It's been hard to keep up with. There's been articles in the papers that say I've got too big for my boots but people who know me say I'm just the same. Things have changed in my life but I haven't, too many people would knock me down if I did.
To play with Zinedine Zidane was the biggest honour I have had in my career
I've heard some of Victoria's new album and it's frightening.
Maths is totally done differently to what I was teached when I was at school.
Well I'm the Prince and I'm sort of slaying a dragon - which is something I've never done before, obviously.
To this day, one of my proudest achievements is captaining my country.
The criticism hurts sometimes and I worry about the effect on my family.
