We'd played for years to half-empty clubs in England.
I was brought up to always see the glass half full instead of half empty and played my cricket that way.
It's not like I played my first football match in England. For me, football is pretty much the same everywhere; the ball is round, but maybe tactically, things are different than at other clubs I've played for.
I played for four different clubs in France; I played for Marseille, which is one of the biggest clubs.
When I played in Belgium, Germany and England, their cultures were similar, more or less, because these clubs are all in Europe.
The biggest similarity between me and my character is that we've both played clubs for 20 years. In real life, the clubs aren't quite as controlled - and my hair isn't quite as in place as it is on 'Ally McBeal.'
Age-old question: Is the glass half empty or half full? Answer: Who cares? Does it really matter whether the glass is half full or half empty? The issue is whether it quenches your thirst.
To be honest, from England Under-16s, through the 17s and 18s, really all the way through my youth career, I played at centre-half. For some reason, when I made my debut at Everton, I just played in central midfield, and it went from there.
I played for England off the back of playing for Bolton so I would like to thank the fans there for making me feel at home for the four years that I played there.
My family came in 1635 from England and settled in Williamsburg. Shortly after, they split up; half went to New England and half stayed in Virginia. I'm a Virginian Ballard.
I played in England for a year and a half, and I know how English teams play - very well.
I spent seven years in clubs in England, Australia, etc. Not all comedians cross over to sell out in a theatre.
Nowhere in the world do supporters love their clubs more than in England. England is paradise to play in.
As a teen-ager I played cards, shot craps, played pool, went to the track, hung around social clubs. I knew that some card and crap games were run by the mob, and some social clubs were mob social clubs. Even as a kid I knew guys that were here today, gone tomorrow, never seen again, and I knew what had happened.
My record shows that I'm not the kind of player who wants to change clubs every season, and I would have no problem playing in England for many more years.
I played for 30 years, 20 with England and I did it by setting goals.
For me, growing up, my main role model was Rio Ferdinand when he was playing with England. He was a centre half. I liked his style of play, and he played with a lot of passion.
