“Be the best you can be in your own self and be grounded!”
I LIKE TO TRAVEL TO…

“One of the Everton physios! He’s got a full kit on because he's been having a game of football. He’s got his two thumbs pointing at his name. Ha-ha!”
MY DREAM IN FOOTBALL IS…
“To win the World Cup, Premier League or Champions League would be nice, but just to be the best I can be is enough for me, really!”
I’VE GOT A PET…
“Dog called Ruby – she’s a little cavapoo!”
