Footballer

I feel like I've progressed, but of course you can always improve and do more.

Once I was in a shopping centre with some Western Sydney Wanderers boys and this kid came up to me and said, 'Hi I'm a Kuhlman, we have the same dad and my mum's got photos of you as a baby.' I was shocked, lost for words, really uncomfortable. I knew he'd had kids but no idea how many or age.

If you want to compete, you have to take out the big boys.

We didn't know how it was going to go but it was always going to be hard for me to go straight from Melbourne into Manchester City's first team. It was always the plan for me to go on loan.

The more games you play and are playing well consistently, you get more confident.

I always wanted to experience 50 games at least in a season because all the top players in the world, they do that every year.

You have to worry about your own performances before you think about everyone else.

I admit it's been a strange journey for me to get to the Premier League, and St, Mirren definitely played their part in that.

I don't really watch one player and copy him or anything like that but if I see something that I think could work then maybe I'll try it.

Of course, I've always dreamed of playing in the Premier League.

You can always pick up stuff when you're watching a high level - it's like with anything - so yeah, I watch a lot of football.

I don't look too much ahead, I am just focusing on Huddersfield and doing my best here.

I've learnt that seasons go very fast, so you've got to make the most of your opportunities.

I'm not a manager. I just try my best and see where it takes me.

I think there are definitely players in the A-League who have quality.

People are passionate about football, and it means a lot to them. I've noticed when people go to a Western Sydney game and we've won 5-0 or something like that, the supporters are happy all week.

Every game at the World Cup is like a final.

At the age of 16, I left Australia to go to Bolton.

I did it in pre-season when we had a bounce game, I went in for a slide tackle and my back was in pain, so I came off. I had a scan a couple of days later and it showed that up. I was worried as there was a little fracture in my back but the physio said I'd be fine and he put my mind at ease. I had two weeks off and was told to do nothing.

They say, 'Don't celebrate against your old team,' but I couldn't hold it in.
