A Lot Of People Don't

I Am Proud Of My Black Roots And Of The Black Blood That Runs In My Veins.

As A Footballer I Can't Imagine Life Without The Use Of One Of My Legs... Sadly This Is Exactly What Happens To Thousands Of Children Every Year When They Accidentally Step On A Landmine.

There's Never Been Completion In My Football Career Because I've Always Been Striving For That Next Thing. You Listen To People Who Have Finished And Nothing Replaces Playing, But I'm Still Excited About Not Having To Put My Body Through What I've Put It Through. And Not Feeling The Disappointment That I Feel.

I Actually Don't Feel The Years Passing, Although The Younger Players Make Sure To Remind Me Of My Age. If There's A Clip Of Bobby Charlton Playing Or A Game's In Black And White They'll Ask: Were You Playing In That Giggsy?

Nelson Mandela Is My Hero Outside Of Football. I Was Fortunate Enough To Meet Him A Couple Of Times. He Was Really Clued Up On His Football And He Knew Me, So That Was Just Unbelievable. It Really Stuck With Me.
