I signed as an 11-year-old for Everton. I broke into the Under-18s at the age of 14, then the reserves at 15, then I was in the first-team squad at 16.
James [Wilson] has a great future ahead of him. Everyone can see he has a great left foot, it's incredible the way he can finish. His touch is good and he is quick as well; he has everything to succeed.
I think Callum Hudson-Odoi can go to the top.
I was a promising keeper as a kid and, at 15 and 16, was on the books of Crewe Alexandra.
It's hard for an up and coming player who has the eyes of Manchester United on them to take that opportunity and then sort of not given the opportunity to break through because of the quality already there.
I wish Michael Sam nothing but the best in his quest to become a star in the NFL, and I am confident he will get the opportunity to show what he can do on the field.
People in Real ask me about Mateo Kovacic all the time. He is a phenomenal talent and will play in some of the biggest clubs. Inter is a big club, no doubt, but Kovacic will play in even bigger.
I don't think the day that I was drafted that I expected to be the starting quarterback for the Rams as a seventh-round pick.
I was good. I probably could have gone to the NFL. I just hated practice.
