When Bale first started at Tottenham, they were struggling to win whenever he played at left-back, but it is unbelievable how quickly things can change in football.
You need to stay in that one position to get consistency that way. Different things are going through your mind when you are playing out right to when you are playing through the middle, so you can't get through that routine of where you want to play.
I've always been able to get into the box, but in the past, I'd been very rash in my finishing; I wasn't clear with what I was doing in the final third. When it came to shooting, I was very rushed. I wasn't hitting the ball cleanly.
I stay away from desserts, but every now and then, I have a sticky toffee pudding or a cup of tea with some biscuits.
As a kid, I was always pretending to score the goal in the FA Cup final, and I managed to live my dream.

The worst position you are in is when you are on the medical bed, and you can't get out on that training pitch.
I try to give my best for the team, help the team, and try and go out there and play the best I can for myself as well.
It's a massive difference when you play in front of full stadiums; you can sense the buzz around the players, and it helps us get that extra one or two per cent that may be the difference in games.
It's unbelievable what the rewards are like with being a footballer, but I'm not stupid - I don't go around flaunting it.
