I liked a couple of things in that.
As I thought, he's not a shouter:
Do you see yourself as more of a motivator more of an authoritarian?
Again, I think you would have to ask others. I think there should only ever be one voice in the place, but you can't go over the line. You put your arm around people and try and make them feel better about themselves. That's what I try and do.
and he's also a modest bloke.
Do you think your highly-decorated career as a player gives you more gravitas among your squad?
You are probably better off asking them that. My career is only for my memory. It's not for me to say I've done X, Y and Z. I know what I've done, I know what I've won. I know the players I've played with, I know the clubs I've played with. I think if you start to spout off what you've done then people turn off, and it's boring for myself saying it. That's the way I look at it. My (playing) career is finished. It was terrific when I had it. I was fortunate to enough to play with some world class footballers and terrific sides. It was a career only for my memory, and not for anybody else.
