I always had games on Saturdays as I was growing up.

I stay away from desserts, but every now and then, I have a sticky toffee pudding or a cup of tea with some biscuits.
The main factor in joining Arsenal was meeting with Arsene Wenger and to hear what his plans were for me.
Arsene Wenger gives youngsters opportunities, and if he thinks that you're good enough, he'll play you.
One day, I would like to go over to Spain to play just to see what it's like and to experience that.
It's nice to have it recognised that I'm doing well and to have people saying good things about me, but I try not to take too much interest. I just try to focus on my own game and what I need to do to improve.
It's a massive difference when you play in front of full stadiums; you can sense the buzz around the players, and it helps us get that extra one or two per cent that may be the difference in games.
When you haven't got the ball, while we're defending, sometimes I am not always where I need to be.
I went to many games with my dad, Kevin, and looked up to the players. It's surreal that now young fans are looking up to me.
I came from a rugby school and rugby nation, but I fancied giving football a go, and luckily, it paid off.
I think there's always pressure at Arsenal to win trophies - it's nothing new - and to us, as players, we know what we are capable of doing.
You need to stay in that one position to get consistency that way. Different things are going through your mind when you are playing out right to when you are playing through the middle, so you can't get through that routine of where you want to play.
Winning just makes you more determined to go on and do more.
I think a top-class midfielder needs to be able to tackle, get up and down the pitch, pass, create opportunities, and score goals. That's why I try to do everything; that's what I judge my game on.
I know what I'm capable of doing. I just want to stay fit and healthy and let my football take care of itself.
Arsenal have a history of bringing through youngsters, giving them opportunities, and turning them into world-class players.
Being a midfielder, I need to get up and down, whether it's to get back and defend or get away from my opposite number. Extra effort in training makes all the difference.
All I want to do is play football.
I'm quite reasonable and level-headed.
I'm a player who always gives 100 percent, regardless of what's going on.
On away trips, I'll listen to my iPod sometimes or watch some TV, see what's on of a Friday or Saturday night - I'll usually save the TV box sets until I'm at home with the wife.
There's always pressure on Arsenal to go out and win games and win trophies.
Everybody talks about the FA Cup being special, and now I know from personal experience it is really special to be involved in.
All I have ever wanted to do is be a professional footballer.
To win the FA Cup - scoring the winner in the 2014 FA Cup was very nice.
I started off playing rugby league as well as union. I switched between fly-half and wing, but I preferred to play fly-half. I liked to be at the heart of everything. I liked to be involved.
Ever since I was a boy, I have wanted to be a professional footballer and to captain my country one day.
You would want to play in every game if possible, but I am realistic.
It's always been something I've wanted to try and do, to take Wales to a major championship.
I want to be the complete midfielder, someone who can defend and attack. Steven Gerrard is someone who's done that very well over the years, and he is someone I am trying to emulate.
Competition is to be expected at a club like Arsenal.
I give everything when I'm on the pitch. When I'm at the training ground, working in the gym or whatever, I always give everything I've got.
I'm an Arsenal player, and I want to remain an Arsenal player.
It's always nice seeing a stadium when it's full, and as players, that's what we want to be playing in front of.
I try to give my best for the team, help the team, and try and go out there and play the best I can for myself as well.
The only way you can get match fitness is by playing games.
When you're wide, you're taught to try and get in at the far post so the ball doesn't go straight across, but from that central position, you can use your instinct where to go.
It's unbelievable what the rewards are like with being a footballer, but I'm not stupid - I don't go around flaunting it.
At the beginning of the season, you're still getting your fitness levels up, and those first few games are quite tough.
I am quite a down-to-earth person.
I am not shy.
I am not the life and soul of the camp, but I do speak a lot throughout the team and to everyone.
When Bale first started at Tottenham, they were struggling to win whenever he played at left-back, but it is unbelievable how quickly things can change in football.
We have to take every game as it comes.
I'm a very motivated guy.
The Premier League used to be two teams going for the title, but it has come on a long way since then.
Having the chance to win a gold medal doesn't come around very often.
You have to give 100 percent in the Champions League, as you're up against the biggest teams.
I hate being in the gym.
I am a central midfielder, and that's where I like to be.
