The money footballers earn can be a shock to the system. So when I got money, I wanted to indulge myself and my friends.
In the late 1990s, Gucci made a watch with a big ‘G’ emblazoned on it, I loved it. It cost £900 and it felt amazing to be able to afford that.
A few months later I bought three of my best friends the ‘G’ watch for Christmas.


I never tired of being able to give things to people.
