As Players, You Just Play

Where I Grew Up, People Obviously Knew My Dad Because It's A Small Place And He Was The Top Player For Swinton - They'd Go And Watch Him Play, See Him In The Papers, So They Knew He Was Black.

I've Always Had People Come Up To Me To Say That They Admire The Way I Play, And Then They Tell Me They're Not United Fans. That's Always Been Nice.

I Had My Footballing Heroes Such As Bryan Robson And Diego Maradona But My Dad Was A Rugby League Star, And He Was My Real Hero. But The Relationship With My Mum Was Rocky And We Saw Things That Would Affect Any Youngster.

I've Put Myself Forward To Be Involved. Whether I Get Picked, We'll Have To Wait And See. Obviously Everybody Is Excited About It, About The Olympics Coming To London And The Football Being Played In Different Parts Of Britain.

A Lot Of People Don't Know That My Father Is Black
