I'm quite a stubborn person.

I am fully in sync with how my body works and what I need to do to feel good and stay good.

My missus says I can never remember anything as a kid. I always say, I put a line through anything that happened back then.

I always said that I would provide for my son differently to how I was provided for from my father. That was my desire when I was 20 and not even playing in League One.

I would never ever forget my roots. I am always going back. Sometimes if I am driving, I find myself taking different routes, going down the old places I used to go. My mum is still in the house I grew up in.

As a striker you are always at the top of the pitch when play is going on in and around your own box, so for me playing up here at St James' Park and hearing the noise when Newcastle have scored against us, it's the passion, you see the fans going crazy and it just feels you with energy.
