"So for a year I spent all my time hiding from Jack Charlton in the car park practising my skills."

"I've always had an inquisitive mind about everything from flowers to television sets to motor cars. Always pulled them apart - couldn't put 'em back, but always extremely interested in how things work."

"The main thing I do now is I coach kids, and all of these stories along the way are based in reality."

"So I did in fact spend two and a half years in the Middlesbrough car park practising skills. But if you spend four or five or six hours a day practising, you get better."

"We were having a trial game against Leeds, and Jack Charlton was the boss of Middlesbrough at the time."
