Craig Bellamy

If you look at my weight, you look at the size,

And even people see all this arguing and getting involved with players and this.

I knew what I was doing.

I knew exactly what I was doing.

It was, if I'm going to compete with Desai or the likes of Cara or your Vincent companies, these players at this higher level, because that's what they were.

I remember Tony Adams was the best player I ever played against, was I have to put them off their game.

I have to get them wanting to kick me more than actually concentrating on their own job.

And if I could get that, then I can get half a yard.

Then I can get it, you know, if he can lose discipline for one second or I need that one second, then I'll be able to make something happen.

And that was really what I just fed off.

It wasn't something I particularly enjoyed as much.

Like, after games, I'd be drained.

But I'd just seen it as the best way of being able to get myself on edge.

No, and

like a person like yourself as well, Karen, you know, I felt myself was similar as well.

You didn't want to make excuses either.

You didn't want it to be, you know, to blame something else or there was a certain element of weakness in you because you couldn't show it.

It was impossible.

You know, that was, that was the, you know, for us, especially of our generation, that wasn't allowed to show.

That was a weakness that we, you can't play this game, you can't be at the top of this game if you show that type of weakness.
