My parents always said I was born to be a sportsman. They said that even when I was in nappies, I wasn't happy unless I was kicking or throwing a ball. My first memory is of Dad and me playing football in our back garden. I recall my mum sitting on the grass under the summer sun, cheering me on as I clumsily kicked a football into the net – my dad was 'defending'. The sense of achievement I felt when I scored my first goal stuck with me, and my life has revolved around football ever since.

As I grew up, I dreamed of becoming a football player. In class, I tried to stay focused on my studies, I knew that few people became professional sportsmen and it was crucial to get a good education. But I devoted every spare second to my passion. At break times, I could be found in the playground practising ball skills, and almost as soon as the bell rang at the end of the school day, I was playing five-a-side games at the local playing fields. I knew that if I wanted to become a success, I would have to put all my energy into the game.

My big break came when I was 18. Leicester City FC offered me a place in their squad. It was there that I learned the true value of teamwork. I played with a fantastic group of guys and we worked toward one common goal – to win! I learned that every person has their own individual talents, and a great team brings these talents together.

We enjoyed great success at Leicester, and I was lucky enough to become one of the UK's top scorers! I was transferred to Everton and, while I was sad to leave my teammates, I was excited about working with new people and making new friends. My time at Everton was an outstanding experience. While I was there, I scored 38 goals in 52 games. It wasn't long until I was on a new journey, this time across the sea to Spain to play for FC Barcelona. I was nervous at first, but it turned out that there was no reason to panic.

I felt great pride when I stepped out into the stadium and onto the pitch in Barcelona. Many footballers dream of playing for such a glorious team! It was a wonderful time for me. Not only did we beat our arch rivals, Real Madrid, but we also fought our way through to the UEFA finals where we defeated Sampdoria and became European Champions.

As you can imagine, the proudest I ever felt was when I played for my country, England, in the World Cup. The tournament raises the level of competitiveness of every player. Not only do you have to be mentally prepared, you have to be at the peak of physical fitness. So, as you can imagine, it didn't help matters that I had to play the tournament with my left arm heavily strapped up! But I was determined not to let one injury stop me and played anyway! Because we were a strong team, we got to the quarter finals. I scored six goals during the competition and won the 'Golden Boot' award!

Football has taken me around the world, from England to Spain to Japan. I have become fluent in two other languages and have experienced other cultures. Since retiring, I have worked as a sports commentator and as a writer. I've even done some TV advertisements, but I'm not quite an Oscar winner! I've become quite the all-round sportsman – I've even played for Leicester Cricket Club. My career has provided me with many happy memories that I wouldn't change for the world. Plus, I've played many fun games of footy!

Когда я рос, я мечтал стать футбольным игроком. В классе я старался сосредоточиться на учебе, я знал, что мало кто становится профессиональным спортсменом, и было крайне важно получить хорошее образование. Но я посвящал каждую свободную секунду своей страсти. На переменах меня можно было найти на детской площадке, где я отрабатывал навыки владения мячом, и почти сразу после звонка об окончании учебного дня я играл в мини-футбол на местных игровых полях. Я знал, что если я хотел добиться успеха, мне нужно было вложить всю свою энергию в игру.

Мой большой прорыв случился, когда мне было 18. Футбольный клуб «Лестер Сити» предложил мне место в своем составе. Именно там я познал истинную ценность командной работы. Я играл с фантастической группой парней, и мы работали над одной общей целью — победить! Я узнал, что у каждого человека есть свои индивидуальные таланты, и отличная команда объединяет эти таланты.
