“It has been on the cards for quite a few years,” he told the BBC.”You get more and more game when you think, ‘I’m wasting the shirt out there’. You know yourself.”
“would rather play in 38 degrees Celsius than 38 degrees Fahrenheit”.
“In my first few years when you’re playing, you wake up on Sunday all bruised and it’s gone by Monday. Now it’s Monday before I feel the bruises and it’s the following Saturday until they’re gone.”
“Usually you’ve got to pay for it, or be dead. But I’m not paying for it and I’m not dead so I thought I’ll see if I can play in it,” he said.
“I’m not a good runner. I’ve bumped into players from other teams and they say: ‘This is the third time we’ve seen you running this week – you must enjoy running. But I say, ‘no – I enjoy playing football.'”
