GAMES THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

LIVERPOOL

ARSENAL

First Division, 1992

"My pro debut. At that stage, you're used to playing reserve games in front of 150 people, then you're suddenly given your big chance. I made my debut at Anfield - such an iconic ground. You don't get much more daunting than one of the best stadiums in the world. A few days before, George Graham told me I'd get my chance and, honestly, I just tried not to think about it too much, because I wouldn't have slept with all the nerves and excitement. I remember my dad came to watch - he sat in the directors' box and said he was so proud to see his boy running out at Anfield. That one means a lot to me."

ARSENAL

EVERTON

Premier League, 1998
