The team was picked for the day, for this particular match. |
There were one or two childish moments if you like, as I was growing up and maturing, |
There will be a few tackles flying in, but you'd expect that in a top of the table clash. It will be a difficult game and one that we are looking forward to. |
To get 50 caps you have to go through highs and lows - and I certainly had a few - it has never been rosy but to be still here, as well as enjoying good times at Celtic is very pleasing. |
Wales v England is one to tell your kids about. The game everyone wants to be a part of. To play against England, to have the opportunity to beat them, is something we all dream about and I'm sure all the lads feel the same. |
When you are playing with good players, it doesn't matter if they are Argentinian, German, Welsh or whatever. Good players can join in and understand their team-mates on the pitch. In most of our games, you can't hear what the other lads are saying anyway, because of the noise of the crowd. I'm sure Shunsuke will want to learn English so he can enjoy the other lads' company, but there are so many Japanese people here watching him that he isn't going to be lonely. |
Yes, in terms of the total football and imagination, ... I had asked for more from certain players and we got that. The front six were fantastic. |
