No, I don't think of myself as a footballer anymore.
To be honest, when I tell stories about when I did play football, I feel like I'm talking about a different person because the whole finishing drink and I feel like a totally different bloke to the one I talk about.
And thankfully now I can look back and laugh on a lot of the things I did.
But yeah, half the time I feel like I'm talking about a different person.
Do the people around you see you as a footballer?
Yeah, yeah.
Still, when I walk into places, I'll hear people muttering, that's the footballer over there.
And I'm like, no, I haven't kicked a football in, what, 11, 10 years now or something.
So, a long time.
So, no, I just feel like I've moved on in life.
But I realise, I'm not silly enough to think that everybody else sees me as a pundit or a journalist.
When I get asked for pictures now with kids, it's the dads behind them.
Because the kids are like, they know me from the fella on the telly, but the dads know me as an ex-footballer.
So, it's a strange one.
I've got two.
I love a half volley as it's rising.
So you hit it and it's still rising as it hits the back of the net.
But I love one where you're running in one-on-one and your touch is a little bit heavy and you commit the goalkeeper and as he goes in to get it with his hands, you just lift it over him.
I love committing him and just dinking the ball over the top of him.
Probably a hat-trick.
