I was brought up in the church, went to church a lot and believe in God. I don't do wrong on purpose. I will slip up and I make mistakes but that's part of life. The most important thing is not to continuously make the same mistake and I am quite a compassionate person. I hate to see children suffer and people suffer. If I can help someone I will. One promise I made is that if I become as successful as I want to be and wealthy I will adopt deprived kids to give them a better life, and I want to have children of my own as well. |
It gives us extra motivation to think 'yes it can be done'. There's an outside chance maybe a few of us might be promoted to the World Cup squad due to injuries but at the same time we have our own objective which is European Championship qualification. |
It's a fantastic start, |
It's a respect thing. If Teddy or the other senior players didn't respect me as captain, I wouldn't be captain. It's give and take and treat other people as you want to be treated. There is not one dominant voice as people might think. Everyone really does try to be a leader on the pitch. |
It's been a good start to the season for me. There were a few people who didn't think I was good enough for the Premiership, but I was determined to prove them wrong and hopefully I've gone some way to doing that, |
It's nice to see the likes of Darren Bent, Kieran Richardson and Stewart Downing promoted to the seniors, |
It's very important to regain our momentum, |
Since I arrived here I've been very happy here and I'm looking forward to being part of what I believe will be a very bright future at West Ham. |
