Racism has been in football since football started, it's never going away, it's never got better. It's just noticed more because everything is on TV, everything is magnified.

I made the step up from the Conference North to the Conference Premier. The difference in standard is quite big in those two leagues.

Before, if I'm in the wrong situation I tended to fight back and react in a way I know I shouldn't. If I feel backed into a corner or threatened, I will defend myself. Obviously it's wrong.

I know I can score goals, regardless of anything else that might be my weaknesses, I know I can score goals.

I went to Zanzibar on holiday and there was a lot there about civil rights and there was a museum, where there are old slave chambers. It was horrible to go to and they've still got the chains there. It opens your eyes a lot.

My mum brought me up but it's hard for a woman to try to teach a son man things, so I've had to practically raise myself.

I want to score 15-20 goals a season in the Premier League. I want to be up there doing that. I know that I can do that.

When I was at Hinckley I was on ?200 a week. I was flying around getting myself into trouble here and there. It was a learning curve, relying on money that wasn't coming and having to survive.

Us, as footballers, are in a very privileged position.

I'm a private person. People just see me as the bad boy, and if that's how they want to perceive me, then so be it - but they don't know who I am.
