Being out of a team changes you as a person. You don't realise it but, away from the game, you can be snappy with your family or friends if you're not playing. It hurts not to be involved, but I guess you have to accept it. It's part and parcel of being at a big club.

Representing your country is a highlight in everybody's career.

Football is like a rollercoaster and if you keep dwelling on what's happened in the past you're never going to move.

Ideally, you want a defender with Premier League experience.

In a game I'm, like, 'Rubber Man' or something but, off the pitch, I'm the least flexible person you could imagine.

I'm always learning and you are never too old to stop learning new things and improve your game.

Learning Your You

I've never been able to touch my toes. Seriously, never.

Quite simply, I want to play at City for the rest of my life.

In a Premier League race, it's never over until it's over.

Carrying the ball is one of the strongest points in my game and I like to be a danger on the pitch.

City is a very family-oriented club. Chelsea is in the centre of London, there is a different crowd following them, maybe more business people go to watch them.

I learned a lot at Chelsea partly down to the players I played alongside.

You look at someone like Jadon Sancho, he took the chance of going abroad to get more game time and now he's possibly up there with the top players, wingers, in the world.

In any footballer's head there comes a point where he recognises that he needs to be playing more games.

To work with the kids and help them come through from the Academy to the first team would be brilliant.

Obviously, I know there are players here who earn more than twice what I do. But that's not the issue for me.

On a personal level, I never worry - I'm always up for the challenge, especially at City, and will keep my head down and work as hard as I can to play as often as I can.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

Work Worry Will

To an extent I agree that the FA hasn't done that much to tackle the problem of racism, but it's hard to police racism for the FA. How do they police it? Unless someone makes people aware of what has happened within a stadium, the FA would never know that it is happening.

I know from Chelsea that it's not about one or two brilliant performances. It is also about winning different types of matches.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

Keegan was definitely an attack-minded manager and at times for a fan it must have been crazy because it was entertaining but at the same time we were quite open and conceded goals as well.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

Yes, when the time comes for me to hang up my boots, I would love to stay and work with the City coaching staff. It would be great to give something back like that.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

I would love to retire a City player and I have my fingers crossed it is something that can still happen. When I did leave in 2005, I broke down crying on the way to sign for Chelsea, but back then, we needed the money my sale brought in.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

There is definitely an argument that Sergio Aguero is the Premier League's best ever striker.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

I think, as a fan, when you are sitting there in the stadium you want to be on the edge of your seat.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

I like the way Pulisic plays. I have kept an eye on him from when I was in the United States.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

I don't want to bring my kid to a stadium and sit next to somebody who is shouting racist chants, because it's going to make kids think that it's okay to do it. It's not only affecting players, but it is affecting kids that are growing up now, and are going to be bringing their kids in future.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

I wouldn't say Pulisic is there to fill Hazard's boots. It's not fair to put that load on him. He's there to bring another way of playing for Chelsea and he will create his own footprints basically and build his own legacy there at the Bridge. He is definitely a player the fans will like. In America he is rated very, very highly.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

I think Callum Hudson-Odoi can go to the top.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

I have no regrets whatsoever about coming back to City.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

City have always had families coming to watch them and we should always stick to that, but try to get other people interested too.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

At a club like City, you cannot forget about the kids that have come through and are still emerging from the academy. We can't forget about them and we should always keep that in mind with an eye to the future.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

The fact that on the day I came back to City we stayed in the UEFA Cup through a last-minute own goal against Midtjylland and then won a dramatic penalty shoot-out made me smile.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

Criticism is part of football. Everybody gets it at some point. I have had it, most players do.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

Only players can understand what it's like, travelling and playing every three days, it gets on top of you.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

I'm not one to give up fighting.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

I don't do too much talking. I let my feet do that for me and that's what I plan on still doing.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

For Man City, and the teams up the top or even the teams at the bottom, if you're getting into your stride at that time, the winter break can almost break it and when you come back you could be doing the opposite things.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

That's the downside of playing for one of the top teams: that no matter how well you play, sometimes you have to step aside.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

Sometimes it's about gritting in and getting the results.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

Once everyone gets a taste of one trophy, it could set off an effect. People will get the hunger, and just want more and more.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

I left for Chelsea to learn new things, at a new club with new players.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

At City I went back there on the basis of playing for manager Mark Hughes.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

The only thing Chelsea and Manchester City have in common is the fact that both clubs have a lot of money.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

If you let in a goal, you don't sink into your shell, you come out even harder and put people on the back foot, home or away.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

In football there's passion so you have lifelong fans, they bring their sons up, their grandchild comes.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

If you're a footballer there will be certain silly people in the world who try to set you down. But just focus on your football.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

If its proven that there's racial abuse, the team's fans where there's abuse should quit the game as a loss and the result should go to the winner basically.

Shaun Wright-Phillips

I worked under Jose Mourinho, a manager who taught me new things and stressed I should believe in myself.
