Who would you change places with?
I think I would have to say David Beckham
Why David Beckham?
He’s been a professional for so many years, been England captain and earned so many caps for his country. He’s lived a professional life and he’s never really been in the paper for anything negative and I think in this day and age you really have to respect somebody for being able to achieve something like that.
What is his best quality?
I think he likes to give back. He seems to appreciate everything that he’s been given and everything he has received as a result of what he has achieved as a player and he throws himself into charity and community work. I watched the documentary of when he went to Rio in Brazil and visited the favelas and the communities but you get the impression that it’s something he would do whether there were cameras there or not.
What is your best memory of him?
It’s got to be the game against Greece where he scored the last minute free kick to get England qualified for the 2002 World Cup. He worked really hard and basically carried the whole team. I can’t forget his performance from that day. It was ridiculous.
If you could pick any of his qualities out for yourself, what would it be?
His kicking probably! I think anybody would love the ability to spread 70-yard passes for fun.
If you could ask him one question, what would it be?
I’d probably ask him how he overcame all of the negative attention he got when he got sent off against Argentina in the World Cup in 1998. He came through all of that and ended up captaining his country at the next World Cup and scored the winner against Argentina. I’d ask him where he got the strength from to take such a negative experience and turn it into a positive one.
