" I grew up in Hockley, Birmingham. It was an environment I’ll never forget in terms of playing football on local pitches, kicking a ball around in the front garden and all over the house.

" For me, personally, I think the serious gamers – the guys who know the levels – play Xbox, and people who are just good at the game play PS3. I play PS3 because I’m not a serious, serious gamer like that. But when I play the Xbox, the standard is so much higher. " - Daniel Sturridge

" You always watch Match of the Day and think to yourself, ‘I think I could’ve scored that chance.’ But when you’re young, you always want to play.

" At Chelsea, there’s more focus on team shape, a lot of work on tactics. " - Daniel Sturridge

" I’m drawn to black clothes. I say I’m inspired by the wrestler The Undertaker because there’s something about wearing black that makes me feel confident and classy. It isn’t to try and make me look slim! " - Daniel Sturridge
