I'm in good shape.

World Cups can be career-defining.

We do not want to alienate supporters.

People make mistakes. They say stupid things.

A handball is when your hand touches the ball.

I generally have a brand of brief on every day.

Football is losing its heart and sense of humour.

I'm not that moody. I don't have big ups and downs.

I think I'm expected to behave in a certain manner.

I hear it all the time in the street: 'It's the crisp bloke.'

What you learn is that you can't please everyone all the time.

To be honest, it would have been better to watch it on Ceefax.

I try very hard to be bad, but people never take me seriously.

If somebody in the crowd spits at you, you've got to swallow it.

I sort of fall apart in terms of stamina after about 25 minutes!

...an excellent player, but he [Ian Wright] does have a black side.

It would be more weird if people didn't stare at me or shout at me.

There's no in between-you're either good or bad. We were in between.

I've only got a Saturday job so my weekdays are generally pretty free.

If someone in the crowd spits at you, you have just got to swallow it.

In terms of aesthetics, I probably look better than I did when I played.

A couple of defeats, and you are gone - that's the danger of World Cups.

Ageing footballers never lose their commitment; they just lose their pace

It would be a great adventure for Leicester to be in the Champions League.

We almost need a revolution in the culture of our thinking about football.

You've got no chance of reaching the top if you're just playing for money.

I know I could never be in a pop band. I honestly have an appalling voice.

Football matters so much to people, and they get very defensive - or angry.

The World Cup is every four years, so it's going to be a perennial problem.

In all sports, people get competitive; things happen that shouldn't happen.

My wife Danielle and I love travelling, different cultures and good weather.

It's nice to have the power of Twitter to correct things that were incorrect.

I was only interested in scoring goals. I wasn't interested in anything else.

Feel ashamed of my generation. We've let down our children and their children.

Every act of kindness is potent and lingers long in the heart of the recipient.

Most clubs would actually like homegrown players because they're a lot cheaper.

I'm more of a 5 Live man. But I might listen to a bit of Coldplay or The Smiths.

This whole 'tired footballers' and three-games-a-week thing is an absolute myth.

Chris Hughton has been sacked by Norwich. Now? With 5 games to go? Utterly bonkers!

The only way to get to the other end of the pitch is to belt it and then belt it again.

Being called Gary. It's a crap name. I wish I'd been called by my middle name, Winston.

The possibility that a provincial town could win the League completely bucks the trend.

You can never really justify wages in the entertainment business, but it is what it is.

The way children are taught football doesn't encourage skill; the focus is on other areas.

I've quite often written tweets that I think are across that line, but I just delete them.

I think if I'd ever had any skeletons in the closet, they'd have been out a long time ago.

I've now been in over 100 adverts for Walkers, and we've had a lot of laughs along the way.

Messi always makes the right decision, whether it's a pass or a finish. He's a little genius.

In my day, I wasn't the best footballer, but I was the best goalscorer for two or three years.

I am not leaving twitter. If the mindless few defeat the thoughtful majority we are all doomed.
