Whether we got promoted or relegated, for me, I was just, you've got to get over 20 goals so that at least I could walk around and say, I tried my best and did my best.

And it's just important to know that I've sort of played my part to try to help the team.

And if I scored 15 goals,

As a striker, you had to be scoring 20, 25 goals to be able to say, well, he done his job.

So, yeah, I typically always got over 20 goals.

My lowest was 21 at City, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, as you say, we're up and we're down.

It got me thinking of the new song City's singing right now.

But yeah, these teammates, we started to get better quality players coming in.

Niklas Jensen, a lot of people may not remember him, but he had a quality left foot at left back and again, his quality of passing into a front player.

People like Stuart Pearce came in towards the end.

We started really, you know, having some quality players.

George Wales, one of the early ones.

The quality just started coming in.

And my game just rose because I was playing with a more intelligent player, would see things, learn things in training.

And because I was a student of the game as well.

So for me, I would observe and watch a quality player and go, oh, this is what he does.

And I would learn it real quick and implement it.

Yes, he brought in Anelka.
