A friend of mine asked me to open a sports bar in London, and the media were there. This fella started interviewing me, thinking I was Sean Bean. I can cope with a smack in the face, or at least I should be able to after the number I have had. This one was just run-of-the-mill for me. I had 10 years at Rangers and I think I'm a loyal person. I don't think I would go to another premiership club other than Everton. I have always maintained a high level of fitness, and that is why I am still able to handle the demands of playing in the Premiership. People have always commented on my fitness, and it's something I pride myself on. I look at the car park and myself and Dave Watson come in with our old cars, and these young lads come in with their new Porches I think that society has changed, there seems to be a lack of respect nowadays. I played as a 17-year-old with Walter Smith, who must have been about 32. So I've known Walter for 21 years. I think back through the years at the Scottish players like Andy Gray and Graeme Sharp, and even Alex Scott, and they have all done well. I'm not one for the future. I know that. But I think I can do a job. I think the hardest to replace has been Johnny Collins. He was great to play with. You could always rely on him to be available for a short pass, allowing you time to clear a ball. He would never give the ball away. I've been lucky. Touch wood! I've fractured my cheekbone. I was out a couple of months with that. I've had 100's of stiches, but at least you can play on with them. My Mother is Swedish and my Father is Scottish, he played for Charlton in the 1960's and was in the Army, he captained the British forces team. We then moved to S.A. because a lot of players did that at the time. Sean Bean is a midget. The contract I signed was just for a year, with an option for another year. If the club don't want me, or if I don't want to carry on, that's it. The plan was that I was going to retire and take a job with the American Federation, but Nottingham Forest offered me a contract and there was interest from West Ham and another Premiership club. There is a lot of things to weigh up when a transfer happens, and money is a big factor. We train in the mornings, and then I go home and rest or sleep, and usually I go for a meal with Abel of a night, as we're the two with no family here, so we tend to hang around together. When I was a young player, I would look at players and think, he does this well, and try and pick up good points from them, or he conducts himself well, I'll pick up on that. |
