Whoever comes in as England manager it is up to him to pick the new captain, but at the end of the day I'm not going to give it up easily. There are the European championships to come and then maybe another World Cup.
Obviously Jonathan was one of the best young defenders in England when he was there and now he is very important for Real Madrid,
The players and a lot of people in England knew it before this tournament but now Europe is finding out about Wayne Rooney. And we're very lucky to have such a good player in our team.
I want to carry on playing for England as long as I can and if that means playing after the World Cup then great.
I still believe I have a part to play for England.
This team [England] has some of the best players in England
I would walk back from the United States to play for England again.
I think I've lost a lot of my gay fans to Gavin Henson. It's a shame because I really love them.
It's a great honor... and it's an honor to be with her majesty, obviously... I'm very honored to be given this honor. (upon receiving the OBE)
When I was seven I wanted to be a footballer, but when I was 14, I wanted to be a model. Look where it's put me now!
I think the next England manager should be someone who's going to be right for the job whether he is English or foreign. I think the players would be happy to play under anyone if they are good for the team. But all the talk needs to stop about who's coming in because we need to concentrate on a huge competition.
I think the 2006 World Cup in Germany is probably as far as it will go for me as an England player,
If it all ended tomorrow, I would hope that people would write about captaining England 50 times, the 86 caps, winning the European Cup, six Premiership titles, two FA Cups, ... So many goals and games for United. And, hopefully, there is still a trophy with England and Madrid.
We will support the manager until he leaves at the end of the tournament. That's clear for the players.
