It's not like I'm against alcohol. It's just a decision I made, and if you've never had it, you don't miss it. I've been drenched in champagne a few times over my career. I might have a drink if England win the World Cup. That's one moment where I might.

You are a long time retired. I don't want to sit there when that happens and think, 'Oh, I wish I had done that better'. I just think everything I can do, that is always the way that I have been. I don't want to have any regrets.

You can look at every game, some where I've been a defensive player and others where I've had an impact.

I contribute in many different ways to the team. I've played a hell of a lot of games in my career, and you can stake any argument on the stats.

I speak to my mum and dad about the club, and my uncle and all my mates are big Leeds fans as well. They're on the up, if you like. It's a better situation than it was when they were in League One not so long ago.

I remember my dad ringing me up and giving me my GCSE results when I was at Thorp Arch for pre-season training. A month later, I was playing in the first team. It was pretty amazing, really. I think if you stopped and thought about it at the time, it would have hit you.
