My Motto In Life Is

When I Was A Young Boy I Wanted To Play For Newcastle United, I Wanted To Wear The Number Nine Shirt And I Wanted To Score Goals At St James' Park. I've Lived My Dream And I Realise How Lucky I've Been To Have Done That.

You Should Always Give 100%. If You Do That Then No-one Can Ask Any More Of You. Someone Once Said To Me When I Was A Kid: 'if You're Asked To Do Ten Sprints, By All Means Do 11 But Never Do Nine Because You're Only Cheating Yourself'.

At Times They Don't Like You To Kick Them And They Feel You're Not Allowed To Kick Them.

I Want To Be Around When Newcastle Win A Trophy Because I Want To See This Place Lift Off. It Will Be One Hell Of A Party For A Long Time.

I Would Play In Any Number Shirt For Newcastle United, But The No 9 At Newcastle Is Something Very Special And I've Always Wanted To Wear It. I Mentioned It To The Manager, He Mentioned It To Les And Les Has Been Very Kind And Given It To Me.
