Are people like Tom Cruise in touch with their public? I doubt it. Footballers are more like the rock stars of yester-year: they are box office.

Twitter is an amazing thing; it brings footballers closer to the fans because so many of them are on there. I was cynical about it to begin with, but I have been converted.

It's really hard for kids nowadays: you can get a decent education, but there are no jobs out there. You worry about how they are ever going to afford to live anywhere.

If you are at the top in entertainment, you earn money that you can never justify to ordinary people doing proper jobs. You can't.

We almost need a revolution in the culture of our thinking about football.

Football matters so much to people, and they get very defensive - or angry.

I think I'm expected to behave in a certain manner.

People have no idea how hard football is, absolutely no idea. It's all about pace. You can say, 'Yeah, you've got speed of thought' - but you've got to have a little bit of a zip.

Twitter has been a godsend for travelling.

Being called Gary. It's a crap name. I wish I'd been called by my middle name, Winston.

I try very hard to be bad, but people never take me seriously.

I'm more of a 5 Live man. But I might listen to a bit of Coldplay or The Smiths.

I've heard things said on football pitches that players clearly don't mean, whether it's racism or just an abusive comment in the heat of the moment.

People are possibly not spelling 'Leicester' correctly everywhere round the globe, but they are at least saying it correctly now.

I've had hundreds of requests from journalists all over the world asking me to speak about Leicester, which is astonishing. It's captured the imagination.

The Leicester story is great for the game in England. It's great for the appreciation of the Premier League.

It's only a matter of time before the English clubs become a lot more competitive in Europe, if not dominant, because our league is, by far, the richest league in the world.

I was quite good at football once, although other than that my speciality would be maths. I'm great at sudokus and find all the spin-off games pretty easy too.

My fiancee's brother-in-law was recently paralysed in an accident and it really brought home the fact that thousands of young people live with spinal injuries. It's an issue I wish had more coverage.

I try to avoid saying 'fantastic' too often and 'obviously' is a dangerous word for all broadcasters.

I've only got a Saturday job so my weekdays are generally pretty free.

That's one of the magical things about the Olympics, Team GB will have someone challenging in a sport that we've never watched and all of a sudden it'll be the biggest thing ever.

The best, most successful managers in the modern era are those who can keep a player happy even if he is not in the team. Given the size of the squads and the use of rotation nowadays, that's tougher than it's ever been.

In any other corporation, if there was so many things that were found to be corrupt, then the man at the top would go - but that doesn't seem to be the case with FIFA.
