I went to West Ham and I had a manager that played me out of position. To be honest with you it was very tough to take.
When I was a player, you only left the club if they wanted to get rid of you. That was your team - if you were at West Ham, you didn't leave until the manager wanted to replace you. You didn't think about playing for Arsenal or Chelsea.
I went to West Ham in order to play against Arsenal as often as possible.
I went to Chelsea twice when I was 14 and 15. I was at Danish club Odense at the time and came across with a friend to Cobham. We played against West Ham youth away, and the year after, we played Millwall away.
I think that with West Ham, it was more complicated for me. It happened naturally; there was urgency to leave West Ham.
My family have always been West Ham fans, so growing up, I used to go and watch them, and so I was a West Ham supporter.
Although my dad Harry is the manager of West Ham, we get on very well.
Baseball I played literally from the time I can remember. My dad had played, my older brother played, so I always wanted to be like my older brother. That just kind of was a natural thing that I fell into.
If I was a normal player at West Ham and wanted to join a Chinese club, nobody would have said anything. But since I was a leader at West Ham and thought about that offer, I was suddenly a bad man.
Playing left midfield a lot at West Ham has been tough but the manager has put me there and I've got every faith in what he's doing.
A team championship doesn't happen because three people score 10s, it happens because all the guys score well. In my opinion, everyone deserved 10s, we're all 10s on this team.
I actually had the chance to sign for Newcastle before I went to West Ham; I didn't in the end because they had got rid of their reserve team. There were a few clubs interested but I liked what West Ham had to offer and never regretted signing for them, I loved it straight away.
I've always known I could play football. I went to Arsenal and West Ham as a kid, but I took a year out because I wanted to play with my mates and get that competitiveness back. I got that fighting spirit and I never want to lose that.
If Arsenal played like this all the time they could win the league
There are two kinds of ham: raw and cooked. Raw ham is cured with salt and/or smoke over time; cooked ham is boiled. Every culture that makes ham has its own unique and various methods.
I hate for people to think that I have only played for West Ham because I am the local lad and people make allowances for me.
