He said: “My Parents have brought me up really well, have always kept my feet on the ground and not let me get carried away. I just love playing football and I don't want anything to jeopardise that. I like to go in every day
training and working hard. I don't drink or smoke. A good night for me is watching the highlights of the Chelsea game. That's me. I never go out. The only time I go out is Christmas night when the whole team goes out for team bonding and stuff like that. But
I still won't drink or anything."
