I started to watch 'Play for Today' and plays like 'Cathy Come Home,' and Kenneth Branagh's 'Billy' trilogy in the 1980s, which took us into the world of the Belfast family. As a kid in Luton, how was I ever going to know that world otherwise?

Other countries don't see us as a world contender. But back home, every tournament we play we're supposed to win. After the last Olympics and what happened against Belarus, you could feel in the locker room before the Switzerland game that if we lost we couldn't fly home this summer.

Remember who you are and where you come from; otherwise, you don't know where you are going.

I collect watches because I'm always late, and I need to know exactly how late I'm going to be - in order to come up with a good excuse.

Today, an affordable home on the island, for a family, is $300,000, $350,000. It's really sad, but it's true ... many of the local people can't begin to afford the houses.

We were hoping to play at home so friends and family members could see us. If they want to support us, they're going to have to go to a little warmer weather.
