INTERVIEWTHE NEED FOR SPEED
Who is faster, myself or Trent? With speeds and distances all
recorded in football today you only need to ask the sports
scientists and they’ll tell you that the right-back won’t be happy
and the left-back will be. Let the stats speak for themselves –
that’s the proof in the pudding!
POWER OF SCOTLAND
I spent some of the winter-break in Scotland. It’s no good
for anyone if I come back here sunburnt and red all over so I
thought I’d do the lads a favour and just go up to Scotland and
stay safe! It’s been quite an intense period and a few of us have
been playing with knocks – myself included – so it’s been a
good chance for those to clear up and I’ve felt better for it in
training. I’ve had injuries this season where maybe I shouldn’t
have played but that’s the cause we’re all fighting for and I’m
sure it’s the same at every club.
Apart from that it was nice to have a break and see some
family and friends and just switch off from football. Now it’s
about getting back into the rhythm.
BACKING FOODBANKS
I’ve always been associated with Fans Supporting Foodbanks.
I wish I wasn’t, as that would mean they didn’t exist. I don’t like
going to foodbanks, I don’t like seeing people suffer and we
should be doing a lot more to help these people.
Unfortunately it’s become part and parcel of society these
days and become more common, so when people are in an
unfortunate position then I like to give something back. Fans
Supporting Foodbanks are a massive organisation and do
such a good job. It’s clever to be around football stadiums for
collections and hopefully they continue To get big collections
because that means there are fewer people going hungry.
Unfortunately it’s a society issue, bigger than one person, but I
know a lot of people are trying to change it.
LEAVING A LEGACY
Of course, leaving a legacy here at Liverpool is something that
drives us on. You could say we’re in the Liverpool history books
because we’ve won the Champions League but you do want to
be the team that everyone can look back on in 100 years and
not remember which year we won the league because we won
a few.
We know it’s going to be hard but that’s what we want to do
and hopefully we can keep ticking off those trophies and by the
end of our careers have a nice little collection.
