As I got older I started doing what I wanted. I enjoy my life now. Age helped; people change a lot between 17 and 30.

There was a little spell when we had no real leadership at the top but we've always had quality people here, lovely characters to whom Sunderland means an awful lot.

I've always enjoyed playing there. As you drive into Newcastle you see the stadium and you get a buzz. It's a good feeling.

There was a rule for the under-13s at Middlesbrough that you were never allowed to swear. If you did, the manager had to take you off as punishment. But I couldn't stop myself. I'd just get frustrated, I guess.
