“My first Premier League goal against Palace, I caught it on the bounce and reversed it across the 'keeper.”

“I've scored goals, created goals everywhere I've been.”

“When I started going to see Celtic, it was just before Henrik Larsson signed. We used to try to skip into the games. You would stand outside, waiting for someone who had a spare ticket and then give him the wee puppy eyes in the hope he'd give it to you!”

“There is a different sort of edge when you come up against England. Even when it's a friendly game you still get that fear in you that if you get beat it won't be good but if you win it will be the best thing going.”

“I'll keep going. That's one thing about myself - I'll roll my sleeves up and keep going.”

“I firmly believe that the Premier League is the best league in the world, and when Norwich came in for me, I made the step because I believe that Norwich can kick on again.”

“I find myself lucky enough to be going to Wembley, which is any young kid's dream.”

“The football was really good at Villa. It was all worthwhile.”

“It was only when I went down south that I started to eat, sleep and breathe football.”

“I went to West Ham and I had a manager that played me out of position. To be honest with you it was very tough to take.”

“From a personal point of view, when you're hitting the back of the net at Premier League level people recognize that you're doing something right.”

“Football is still the most important thing. It keeps me focused and driven every day and that takes me on to be the best dad, son, and friend.”

“At the start of the season, everyone says you want to go up automatic because the play-offs are intense. But if you go up through the play-offs, it's the best feeling because it's Wembley. But to lose there, I would not like to be on the end of that.”

“I've played at the top level for years now and know it's the small percentages that matter. That's what the difference is between you getting to a major tournament or not.”

“I know myself that when there is a manager who knows how to get the best out of you then it's different - and that's why I chose Villa. I wanted to work with Steve Bruce again.”

“I went away with Scotland because I was trying to get some game-time somewhere but it just wasn't working out with Scotland, the results weren't happening.”

“I don't like being away from my family, I genuinely don't.”

“I want to wear my heart on my sleeve and be loyal.”

“I scored nine goals for Hull and a hat-trick for Scotland in the first half of the season, you don't do that and then become an average player overnight, so I know I can contribute to West Ham.”

“I wish we could get back to those days, just let kids go and play and enjoy themselves on the streets instead of at academies too young.”
