I knew that, to be the best right-back in the world, I had to improve my fitness so I could run up and down constantly for 90 minutes.

Football is for everyone, no matter what background you're from, what age, what level you play at. This is what it's all about: coming out today, having a good time, and getting involved.

When I was younger, my food and fitness were less controlled - I just loved football.

I've adopted that mentality: every day I do weights and core in the gym in the morning and train on the field in the afternoon. And I'm strict with my diet - I include protein in every meal and snack.
