Wayne can play any position but the way he plays for Manchester United, just off the main striker, is unstoppable. He runs at players and that is what causes teams most problems.
Wayne can be whoever he wants to be. He's a great young lad and he's at the right club to be looked after and to be brought through. If he carries on doing what he's doing, creating chances for players and for himself, he's going to deserve those comparisons.
Everyone's been so quick to say that I'm really thick or I haven't got a brain. People will think whatever they want to think.
I just want people to see me as a hard-working footballer and someone who is passionate about the game.
You can be the one - in - a - million. Don’t be discouraged by the odds to Succeed.
The secret to my success is practice!
Every situation has changed me as a person.
You will go through tough times, it's about getting through them.
I have always believed that if you want to achieve anything special in life you have to work, work, and then work some more.
I love scoring goals for England and playing for England. That's one of the reasons I didn't retire - I love playing for my country.
I haven't retired from international football - I still believe I have a part to play in the future of England.
When I was a kid, I thought my dad was a little bit harsh with me at times. Sometimes I needed an arm around me instead of my dad telling me what I did wrong, but it obviously worked.
As soon as a free kick is given and it's anywhere near the box, I get excited. I don't really concentrate what side the keeper is on, because I always think that if I catch it as well as I can, then I can beat him whichever way he goes.
