    He said: 'I always wanted kids I could take to work, and for them to experience the things I experience. So, having three boys as a footballer was a dream.

    'And now to have a little girl who just lightens up my day every time I see or I speak to her… My children are my life.'

    When asked if he would be happy with daughter Harper becoming a footballer, he said: 'Obviously, when we were living in America that was a big thing, girls playing football. The girls are very talented over there, and women's football is big in England and Europe as well so… we'll see.'
