I'm a footballer, that's my job and that's all I want to be known for.
People ask me why I keep getting injured but I have just had to accept it is one of those things that happen.
Once Liverpool had asked me to sign again, there was no hesitation.
Arsenal have been literally passed to death.
Sometimes, you just get a label and it sticks.
At no point was my career under threat, so I always knew that I would get back into action.
I enjoy spending time at home or going out for a quiet meal in a restaurant.
I cried at my son's sports day, for God's sake. I'm a huge baby
The way I am, I like to look forward instead of looking back.
Although my dad Harry is the manager of West Ham, we get on very well.
But I just want to be known for my football.
But what goes on in my life outside of the game should be my business.
We need to win something for the fans because they have been patient and very understanding and we owe them.
Me Grandad is 74 and he's football bananas, so me nan gets loads of grief.
