2005年12月號 FourFourTwo雜誌 p.20-24 小傑接受訪問，回答球迷的問題 接下來是大量有關足球的部分 ================================================ Q:If you hand't been a footballer, what would you have done for a living? (Eric, via e-mail) I don't really know. I wasn't academic so I'd probably have tried to get a trade behind me. But from the age of eight I thought I'd be a footballer. By then I was training with Liverpool and wearing the kit. I was familiar with the training ground, the people around it and that's when the dream started that I wanted to play for Liverpool. I did all my school work and gave it my best, but football was always too big a distraction. -- Q:Who was your first hero as a kid? (Liam Anderson, cambridge) John Barnes. When I first started watching Liverpool he was the main player, setting up all the goals and scoring world-class ones himself. He was my favourite, even though he didn't play in a position I liked. I really admired Gazza too - the first World Cup I watched was in 1990 when he was on fire. Away from football, I loved Del Boy from "Only fools and Horses." I always had it recorded and I still take their DVDs when I go away with England. I laugh out loud, even though I've watched them over and over. -- Q:Were you easily the best player in your years? if not, who was and what's he doing now? (Marvin Wood, Porsmouth) I would't say easily the best, but I remember being made captain of the school which I suppose is a good sign. I certainly didn't treat my mates like I was the best. My school team were successful: we won the local cup and got into a national competetion where we did quite well. A lot of clubs looked at other players in my class. One of my best mates had a two-year YTS with Tranmere, but then he got released. -- Q:Is it true that as a YTS player at Liverpool, you were smaller even than Michael Owen? (Scott Brummitt, Grimsby) We were about the same size. It was't until I was 16 or 17 that I started to grow taller than Michael, but until then we were the same age and the same build. When we wore Liverpool kits we probably looked the same too. I'm still very good friends with Michael, he's a great lad. we know each other inside out. -- Q:You once went for a trial at Gillingham as a teenager? Why didn't you join them? (Rahim, Harrow) Because that's not true. Just before I signed schoolboy forms with Liverpool I went around a few clubs: Everton, Man city and Man United. I was wellcomed at all of them and did quite well in all the trails. They were after my signature and I've still got the letters from those clubs, but there was only one club that I was going to sign for. I felt comfortable at Liverpool and most of my family are Reds. The club acturally advised me to look at other clubs and to make my own mind up. That they didn't force me to join them was a good sign. -- 我第一次看到他 是在2002年的日韓世界盃上 他身披藍白條紋戰袍為永恆的王者阿根廷作戰 靈巧輕盈的身影頂著一頭天真無邪的希臘少年捲髮 --
