It's hard to please everyone, and I learnt quite early that that's never going to happen.

Football is a game of opinions, and some people have a great opinion of me, and some people probably think I'm absolutely useless.

You can be humbled as a goalkeeper. You have to accept that.

Playing to a decent standard sometimes isn't enough.

You look at some of the top teams in the world that have got the best strikers, and they are looking to buy another top striker. But if you have got a top goalkeeper, you are not often looking to buy another goalkeeper.

It's difficult to make predictions in the Premier League, as unpredictable things can happen, and I know that well: I won the title in a crazy way and lost one unexpectedly.

I was a bowler - left arm, smash it down as fast as I could. I did a lot of work with Damian D'Oliveira, and I probably had a chance of doing that for a living. But when I reached 16, I knew I couldn't carry on playing both football and cricket, and I was already in the Shrewsbury squad.

If crowds give you abuse, there's no point standing there and giving it them back; you just move on.

There are too many haters.
