England Under 16, Under 17, Under 18, I played centre-half. But back then, David Moyes thought it was difficult to throw a 16-year-old in there. There was a big hype around me. He wanted me to fulfil my potential; he wanted to get me in as early as possible.

I got scouted at six by Everton. My parents said it was maybe a bit too young. A year later, I went down to trials at Everton and have been there ever since.

The player I look up to is Rio Ferdinand. I have always played at the back, and I've always tried to base my game on his.

It is effectively a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be involved, and the chance to win an Olympic medal would be amazing.

If Manchester United come knocking, you can't turn that down.

Every time I step on to the pitch, I give my all.

Jack Rodwell

I've played all over, to be honest. Centre-half, defensive midfield, attacking midfield.

Obviously, the Champions League and Premier League are the biggies, and obviously, if you could win any, it would be one of those two.

At the end of the day, we love playing football, so that is the main thing. I am doing something that I really love to do. It is a job, but it is a hobby as well.

You have to go 100 per cent and be confident in your body.

David Moyes works you really hard, but he's also a fair manager as well.

When you're out for a week here and there, it sets you back, and you're out of the team.

To play in the white shirt of England is an honour, and you give your all every time you step on the pitch.

I'm a great believer in my ability, but I've not had the chance to prove it.

You always want to test yourself at a high level, and I would be proud to represent Great Britain.

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.

Jack Rodwell

I've played at centre-half plenty of times before.

Jack Rodwell

Eventually, I think I'll probably end up at centre-half. By the time I get to 28 or 29, I imagine I'll be a defender.

Jack Rodwell

I have been playing box-to-box more for Everton as a two, so I have felt comfortable in that position, but anywhere across the midfield I can play.

Jack Rodwell

I vaguely remember the 1998 World Cup. Michael Owen scored; I remember watching that.
