“Three words? Er, exciting. Winners. Centurions – I like that one!”

That’s a difficult one. There are so many things, I think I’m going to have to go against you and say the trophy! It was a massive dream for me personally – as a kid I never thought I’d get the opportunit­y to even play in the Premier League, never mind lift it! I dreamt of it as a little boy – people don’t see that side of it. They know you’re a footballer but don’t see the kind of journey you took to get there. The trophy lift was a symbol of what we did last season. A special moment for all of the lads, and me personally!”

“There are a few! I love Fernandinh­o – a lot of the boys will say the same. He just goes about his job, he’s a world-class player, he plays week in, week out. He’s a top player and deserves more credit than he gets. He’s the type of guy that likes to be low key and just goes about his business, which just makes him even better!”
