I really had spent my whole life playing soccer, and the fact that I was willing to give that up for theater, that told me I was moving in that direction.

I have my own brand called Monta, including a specially designed street soccer ball made out of a denim material which fades like your old jeans when used.

I have only been here since 1996 but between 1966 and 1996 England had thirty years without foreign players and didn't win any more competitions in that time.

I didn't do anything during the game. I only had one shot on goal and I did not create any chances. I was horrible. Maybe I should have left the pitch earlier.

This club is all about winning trophies and we've got a chance of bringing the greatest trophy of them all back to Anfield, so it means a great deal obviously.
