I've started the coaching badges. I did some at Aston Villa, but things got in the way.'
I joined Aston Villa to improve myself in the Premier League. It started well but then I got injured and Villa ended up having five managers that season.
People ask me do I want to do my coaching badges. Why? You're not given a chance, so no. I wouldn't be looking forward to doing my coaching badges. It's a waste of time.
Stats can do anything you wish. When we got the sack at Aston Villa it came out there had only been Man City in that calendar year who had scored more goals than Villa.
We got the goals early in the game and I thought we just got a little too comfortable with things. They started changing their defense, they started going from a zone defense to a man-to-man and doing different things. We got sloppy, and I give them credit for the way they played. We got sloppy and had some turnovers there. We did have some opportunities, one-on-one with the goalie in the second there, but we need to finish things. They found some momentum in their defense and were able to crawl back in.
It wasn't until I started my coaching badges that I found that I enjoyed it.
I've started doing my coaching badges, I'd like to be a manager one day.
The career I have had should warrant me getting a job. I've done all the badges. I'm doing my coaching badges with the Welsh FA.
Until I went to Aston Villa I was scoring 'X' amount. It just did not happen there. That is it. I have seen it happen with loads of players.
All I do know is that I'll never be able to achieve what Tommy Docherty did, and that is take Aston Villa into the third division and Manchester United into the second division
On the field, I was probably coaching more, helping players and doing my coaching badges.
I was very into football in my early teens and spent six months with Aston Villa, but I never really got further than having trials. I'm also into ice hockey.
Few people will say maybe I had a tough time with different teams like Aston Villa and Middlesbrough but in each situation, I tried to take the good things.
I know so many players who say they wouldn't entertain coaching, until they retire that is, and then they want to take their coaching badges. I suspect this might happen with David Beckham.
I've said it for a long time that Aston Villa is a special club.
And that's Aston Villa's first league goal since their last one.
Newcastle was tough - the manager who'd signed me, Bobby Robson, got sacked three games into the season, so a new manager arrived, and I ended up going on loan again, to Aston Villa.
