I have an understanding of how much is at stake in football, how much money is at stake, how much investment there is and what it means to the fans. It's an emotional game. It's a focal point for communities. It's escapism for fans. Sport is a wonderful thing but it is just that: sport. It is my job.

It's quite refreshing actually to experience something as simplistic as enjoying winning a game, and the players and the fans being together.
