The good thing about the international break is that it gives me time to get a proper game in behind closed doors or in the reserve team and build up my match fitness,

I didn’t have a club and I thought that might be the end. Then Wolves came in and I’m doing all I can to help bring them success.

The best player I’ve ever played with was Paul Gascoigne. He had everything. He was amazing.

He’s a gent from Monday to Friday… then on Saturday, out comes the beast.

I’m taking it step by step and not thinking at all about a new contract.

I’ll be 38 in October and it’ll be a good time to call it a day at the end of the season, … If the team go up then I’ll be too old to play...

It’s a shame the Manchester United situation turned sour.

If the team go up then I’ll be too old to play in the Premiership. With my game and my role you can’t do that forever so I think this’ll be my last year.

Liverpool fans were great to me, I still live near the city and they always come up and shake my hand.

I love tackling, love it. It’s better than sex.

Marcel Desailly was pretty hard when I played against him in a Milan derby.

Rio can play that holding midfield position for England – the kid is good enough to do it. Sven should be looking at Rio to do that in the World Cup because I think he...

The problem is, when you come back in you’re sweating, so I wait until the very last minute before putting on my shirt so that it’s not covered in sweat.

When I retire I’m gonna bet on Wolves drawing every game. I’ll be a multi-millionaire!

We can’t keep playing catch up as we have done for every season I’ve been here.

It’s been a frustrating six weeks but I’m hoping that within three weeks I’ll be at a stage where I’m playing.

We do not want to be giving quality sides such as Southampton, Palace, Norwich and the rest eight or nine points start and expect to get back up with them.
