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.
I come from the east end of London where the main Olympic Park will be, so I am really excited by the plans for the development of the area.
We grew up together so it was nice to lead our countries against one another,
We're in form. When we make the most of our potential, we can destroy any team we come up against.
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.
Playing against some of the best defenders in the world, he ran away from a couple and held off a couple and that's not easy to do,
It doesn't mean just because Michael is coming back, and I'm maybe in a different position, that things are going to change in the next game.
I think the 2006 World Cup in Germany is probably as far as it will go for me as an England player,
It is important for me to have four or five more years in football.
I went into the World Cup always worrying about getting fit for the first game and I haven't got that worry now,
I went for the gaffer. I don't know if I've ever lost control like that in my life before. It was like some mad scene out of a gangster movie.
I went through a tough time for maybe three years after that,
I think he's one of Britain's best young sportsmen.
