Manchester United were interested in me as well.

They were interested in me that summer.

And I just knew I couldn't go there because I was in no position to be able to compete with the likes, the players they had.

And I just felt tortured.

I felt this wasn't what I expected my football career to be like.

I'm in this much pain where I didn't want to sprint.

where I certainly didn't want to decelerate because it hurt too much and then twisting and turning.

And then I didn't want to train hard the day before because I knew it would take it out on me in the game.

My knees would be sore again.

Having to deal with that was the toughest time during my career.

Injuries, it was sort of relief then when you had an operation because it was like, now I can do something about it.

Now I can, you know, press the reset button and,

concentrate on my rehab.

I haven't got the pressure of playing, so I'm just concentrating and being free again and hopefully getting rid of the pain and doing a rehab right and give myself time for my knees to recover.

Yeah, Richard Stedman, yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

We were in the Algarve, that's right, when I seen you.

I think you'd just come out your leg brace and I was in my leg brace.

I wish you ignored me when we were playing for Liverpool, mate.

But no, I know exactly where you're coming from.
