I still have ambition to captain England into the 2011 World Cup. I'm very keen to do that job.
It's still my ambition to be at the top level and be playing for England - especially, like, a competition like the World Cup.
I'm in such a privileged position to class football as my full-time job, to be captain of England, captain of Manchester City. I'm very lucky.
I would like to wish the England squad every success. I would also very much like to extend those wishes to Martin Johnson, Brian Smith, Mike Ford, John Wells, Graham Rowntree and the rest of the England 2011 World Cup management team who have been fantastic and deserve people to know that.
I never dreamed I would captain England in a home World Cup.
I'd love to feature for the Barbarians. I'd love to win a Champions Cup, and I'd love to get to another World Cup and make a fist of it: get to a World Cup final at least and see what could have been, particularly after 2011 when Wales reached the semi-finals.
If my ambition in Tottenham is only to win the Carabao Cup or FA Cup, with all the respect for that, I think my ambition does not match the ambition of a club like Tottenham.
The FA Cup is the oldest cup competition in the world. Players are keen and willing to play in these games.
To say that I wanted to become the captain is entirely incorrect. When Dhoni became captain and I played under him, we won the T20 World Cup.
This whole quest to win the 2019 World Cup, that was my job when I was director of England cricket.
Getting the opportunity to captain England is a huge honour - even if it's only the once you can still say 'yeah, I've captained England.'
It was so disappointing the way it ended but, to play for England in the World Cup, was still the highlight of my career.
In the 1958 World Cup final, Sweden scored against Brazil and Didi went to the back of the net and talked to all the players. And he was not the captain, but he behaved like one. Every player has to behave as if he was captain.
I had a great experience at the [2011] World Cup. Unfortunately, we didn't end on the note we wanted to, but I still had an Amazing time representing our country and playing in front of thousands of fans.
I got to experience being captain in the World Cup. For me, that was something special, and I'll always kind of remember, but it's never been a big thing for me to be captain.
Learning on the job as England captain is hard.
To be captain and win a lot at Juventus, to play for 20 years, to play in the World Cup, European Cup, I think I had a good career, no?
