I've spent my entire career on horseback or on a motorcycle. It boxes you in, the way people perceive you.
“I had an early taste of fame. I was 20, going out with TV presenter Dani Behr and we'd have paparazzi chasing us. I'm not comfortable being photographed, though I accept it is part of the job. I had to ask myself, 'What comes first, being a celebrity or footballer?'”
“The camera makes you forget you're there. It's not like you are hiding but you forget, you are just looking so much.”
