“I don’t like it when everyone wishes me well.

“I put on my right glove, my left glove, take off my right glove and shake everyone’s hand so they don’t touch my gloves. It’s also a matter of respect.

“It comes from Bobby Charlton. My dad met him once and he went to shake his hand and Bobby Charlton took off his glove to shake his hand, so that kind of resonated with me.

“Then I go out onto the field and I put my glove back on, I go to the center circle, play with the ball and then I go and touch the bar.

“It doesn’t bother me much if I don’t touch the ball or the crossbar, but the one with the gloves is the most important.”
