Ever since I was a boy, I have wanted to be a professional footballer and to captain my country one day.
All I have ever wanted to do is be a professional footballer.
We're professional footballers, so we have to go out there and perform as best we can and try and get the results that we want.
It's unbelievable what the rewards are like with being a footballer, but I'm not stupid - I don't go around flaunting it.
Originally, I wanted a pop career and formed a girl-band 'Genie Queen' managed by Andy McClusky from 'Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark', but it didn't work out. My brother John is the talented singer and song-writer with 'The Razz,' while my other brother Sean is a footballer for Telford United.
I've got no interest in football. My brother's a footballer, too, and I was dragged to the freezing pitch every week as a child. I don't see much glamour in it.
People don't understand that the feel of the surface is so important for a footballer. The ball travels on the surface; our feet move on the surface - all of that goes into how the game is actually played.
Part of the reason that I wanted to become a footballer was to help my family and friends financially so that was one of the thoughts that kept me going.
