I think La Liga is the best league in the world.

I always believed in my ability, but I think in any sport you need that little bit of luck.

I’m a proud Welshman.

When I was younger, I had some close friends who always loved European football, and Real Madrid at that time were the dominant force. I remember family holidays when we used to go to Spain,...

I’ve certainly not got any famous people’s numbers on my phone. It’s just not my thing, really.

I was never too much into school. I liked lunchtimes and breaks, but nah, I hated sitting at a desk. I was always looking out of the window, looking at my watch, thinking about when...

Between 12 and 14, I shot up a ridiculous amount. The muscles were struggling to stretch and grow at the rate my bones were growing. It gave me problems with my back and my hamstrings.
