I have always loved broadcasting - as a child in Liverpool, I would wake up and listen to Morning Merseyside on BBC Radio Merseyside and wonder, 'How do they do that?'
In my time at Anfield we always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside - Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.
As a kid I loved to listen to the radio, later I became a radio artiste and would listen to the BBC.
Everton are a bigger club than Liverpool. Everywhere you go on Merseyside you bump into Everton supporters.
The Merseyside derby games are unique in the city.
It's something you dream of. It's very special to play in the Merseyside derby and, especially, win.
Merseyside derbies usually last 90 minutes and I'm sure today's won't be any different.
My mother was a professor and she would wake me up at 5:30 every morning. I've had that routine since I was a child. So it's not tough to wake up and face the camera at any time now.
There is a whole host of people that have got an accent like mine, whether they're from Merseyside or Wales or the North West.
I always loved music and would listen to the radio and watch out for new stuff. When I was about nine or ten, I would go around to me friend's house on a Sunday when the top twenty was broadcast on the radio at 6 P.M., and we would tape it on a cassette, and then we would take turns in sharing it over the next week.
Growing up, there was only classical music on BBC Radio. We had to listen to the American Forces Network in Germany, which played pop songs, or the pirate radio boats off the coast.
The Merseyside derby is a terrific game full of passion, full of quality.
You wonder, 'How could it possibly be me?' Well, of course it could happen to you. You have it. Then, of course, you wake up every morning, and you hope it's a bad dream. Then you wake up. I have cancer.
I have found a flat on Merseyside and am settling down here. If I can keep playing and get back to full match fitness, I know I have a lot to offer still.
How long is a girl a child? She is a child, and then one morning you wake up she's a woman, and a dozen different people of whom you recognize none.
Every single day I wake up in the morning, and I wonder if this is some kind of amazing dream that's gonna end all of a sudden. And, you know, I'm gonna wake up and be somewhere else.
Voiceover work reminds me of old-time radio. When I was little I used to sneak and stay up at night and listen to Mystery Radio Theater - I loved all those old radio plays.
