Rickie Lambert

“I've played football every day since I was five, and I'm just knackered.”

“Football-wise, I help with my 12-year-old and his team, and I play football on a Friday with my mates and that's about it. I always look out for results at Rovers and Southampton mainly, and I go and watch Liverpool when I can.”

“I could have sat on the bench for a third year but I moved to West Brom from Liverpool to play. I love Liverpool and I've played a lot of games in my career so if I wanted to have a comfy life, I could have stayed at Liverpool.”

“I have always dreamt of playing for Liverpool, but I did kind of think the chance of playing for them had gone. I didn't think the chance would come.”
