  1. “I got to a stage where I felt I couldn't make a mistake. If I didn't play well, I thought we were going to lose. Because I wasn't daft. I was playing at my best. I was a huge part of the team. There was sort of me at the back and Stevie Gerard at the front, if you like. And there was lots of other great players around there, of course. I knew I was a huge influence in the Rafa Benita's area. I felt I'd go into big games thinking if I don't play well today, we're not going to win.”

  2. “Because I knew how bad I'd feel if we didn't win or it hadn't gone well, it was almost relief that I'm not going to feel like that for the next two or three days because I would, I think I punish myself a little bit when I didn't perform well or we didn't win. And I regret that, but I don't know if I could have done anything different. It was me. You know, I spoke to a one stage, I spoke to us, I had to. I wasn't asked to. I had to get hold of a psychologist, sports psychologist that I knew because what I was doing to myself was... I was just driving myself mad, really, with the standards I was expecting of myself. And this, I must say, was not when I was not playing well in short of confidence. This was when I was at my absolute peak and best. That's when I needed more help.”

  4. “Listen to Crouchy's podcast because I've seen it pop up somewhere, and it was made online or some Peter Crouch said, Stephen Gerard and Jamie Carriger writ off plays after 15. I thought, I better listen to this one. Piece of crowd said is right. And he's probably looking at me a little bit dumbfounded. I can understand that, but I can't understand him Me Bill Shankley said football is a matter of life and death. And I don't think he meant that. I think that was obviously tongue-in-cheek at the time and no football club knows that statement is not true more than Liverpool Football Club It's very close to being That's the way I see it. That's football for me. away life and winning is all that matters and for me when I played I'd rather cheat and win. Not win, and I don't think I'll ever be any different.”

  5. “I think my dad. Whether you're born with something like that, maybe you speak to a lot of probably more people who give you that answer than I do and maybe have a better insight into it to me. In some ways, I'm not quite sure, but I knew from the first time I played football. Me, Winham was all that mattered. And if you say to me, what do I miss most of being a professional footballer? It's winning. Not the taking part, it's not the training. A lot of people always say this footballers say this all the time. I miss the dress room. I don't miss the dressing room. I missed the dressing room after the game and we win. That, like, you've done something together.”

  6. “Yeah, maybe there's a little bit of artistic license there with the guy who wrote it, but. But no, I think it was that. And I think throughout my football career. I'm not talking no feign and injury, I'm talking about the big thing for me and the big thing for me that I want to pass on to my son. Having charact After me will Take it to places that you don't think are possible if you've got that personality, mental strength, character. I think that overrides a lot of things.”

  7. “He doesn't like me to say the story because I think he looks back at it and thinks, oh, I wish I hadn't done that. But I've got no problem with it. You know, I think it's part of my life, part of my story that basically I was seven years of age. Didn't want to play in a game. It was that cold, it was freezing, it was hailstone. And I got tackled and I pretended that was her crying and come off. But my dad and I'm the same we couldn't suffer bluffers or phonies, we'd say, you know, that type of thing. And he knew I was putting it on. And let's just say it was the last time I did.”

  8. “Yes, but I think that came not because he was so desperate for me to be a footballer. I think that became because I think he knew pretty early on. Admin had played football, my dad had Watched football. My dad was a massive football fan, so he done everything you could do in football in terms of playing amateur football, managed amateur teams, went to watch Everton home and away. So he was just, he was obsessed with football. So from a young age, I think he was quite tough on me a couple of times that stand out only because he knew the standards I could get to. And one of those times is like a story I put in my book. And I think sometimes when my dad Listens back, I”

  9. “I mean, my mum must have watched me play five times in my life. And that's nothing to do with not being proud of me or not being there. But I know it's not the done thing now, but it was almost a case of my dad took us to football and my mom stayed at home, you know, and did what we associated with women things. And now, obviously, that type of comment or them thoughts, certainly back then. Class as like sexist now, and rightly so, but that was just the way it was. It wasn't, I don't think my mum was. Sort of badgering me dad to go to the football. She always just felt, well, okay, that's your thing to take them to the football, whether to be going to watch Everton as young kids or, you know, play me games for. How much your teams, little boys, and I want to start on that journey”

  13. “Yes About my mum, I would say, you know, to have had two miscarriages, to have that going through your third pregnancy, to think you could lose the baby, no one can quite give you a definitive answer about what's going on with this child in your stomach. And then to... Not know straight away, and it just I only know of now and when people have kids and I've had my own kids and Everything's so documented, isn't it? Whether it's the first picture, Instagram, you're there with the baby when the baby's born. I wasn't actually. Maybe we can get to that later. I wasn't there for my firstborn. And that's something I do regret. But I just think about how. My mum must have felt, and sort of me looking at my mum because I've been very lucky the life I now lead, the experience that I've had.”

  14. “Obviously, I've got a problem straight up to Alder Hay. My dad goes straight there, but again, the technology isn't like that. And I just think, how long must there have been before one my mum knew I was all right, what I had, how quick it had to go. You know, you can't quite fathom that when you think about today and how quickly we can get in touch with different people. I just think about what was going through my mum's mind there for that sort of next hour or two until you know she probably found out everything was okay.”

No phones, there's no, she's still in Vazakli Hospital.”

  16. “A baby who's got spinal bif there, or maybe something else, that's what's been decided for me. That's finer to my child. I love that child. What I find fascinating when you think of sort of today Closer it got to me being born, it wasn't Spina Bifter, but they still knew something wasn't right.

  17. “Have been about what I say would have been about 1977, obviously 78, I was born. And my mum has had two miscarriages before me. And then when I, well, you fell pregnant with me. The doctors, nurses didn't know what was wrong, but they knew something was wrong. And initially they were saying, we think your child has got spina bifter. And I think. I'm saying it in those days. Maybe I don't know if it's the same now. There's a chance you could terminate the pregnancy if the baby was. Whatever, you know My mum was, I think, was given that option. And my mum was very holy. I think it's the right word, probably at that stage, in her early 20s, she would be going to church every day. Still goes every Sunday now. So her thing was not if the word she says to me was if our Lord wants me to have...”

  19. “I'm no huge Ronaldo fan. I think that's pretty obvious. It's sad for him the way people are speaking about Messi towards the end of his career and Ronaldo, and it's completely different. It's almost like he feels like he's not rated even. I've got so much admiration for him, for his mental strength. To be able to withstand pressure, criticism, and I saw too many players never recover from that. I knew from the first time I played football, for me winning was all that mattered. If you say to me, what do I miss most of being a professional footballer? It's women. I'd rather cheat and win than not win.”
