Quotes:
- Growing up in the States there was always one part of my life which was different to most of my schoolmates, which was that my dad was Italian and he still had a strong tie to that country, including a love of football. Whenever big tournaments like the World Cup were on television it was always a huge thing for us. When I was very young I was a passionate supporter of the Italian national team, though I'm not so much any more. I was disgusted by them at the last World Cup. I felt all they did was whine about the referees.
- There I was, a Yank with a fake tan and bleached blond hair, prancing around on the training pitch. Steve Harper was in goal and when we lined up to do the shooting drills people were betting pounds 10 that I would miss. I nearly gambled away my entire fee for the film. I remember Dean Saunders [one of the Newcastle coaches] laying the ball off to me for my first shot. I struck the post. Or should that be `rattled the post'?
