Liverpool is such a big club, and I was fortunate to be one of a select few to have played for them. It was an amazing time.

Losing a family member is extremely difficult for anyone to take. But the normal reaction is to want to get back to your work as soon as you can.

I played in the Premier League for Blackpool and earned the right to go to a club like Liverpool.

My earliest memories are sitting on the beach at Blackpool, and I know that if I went back, it would be horrible. I know what Blackpool's like - it's nothing like I imagined it was as a child.

Where does it stop? You get offered money for your wedding, then for your kids, new houses, holidays... We earn enough from football and sponsorships, why do you need any more?

I don't like to get in front of people.
