>>A HERO Dalai Lama. I'm not a Buddhist but I have read some of his books and I think he is brilliant and an absolute realist about everything. He is a reference for everything. I have read a lot of his books.

 

>>A VILLAIN People who hurt innocent children, no matter who they are, they always villains.

 

>>A GOOD CAUSE Chelsea's Global CharityPartner Right to Play. Anotheris Al Gore's cause about globalwarming. I worry about this and Ithink he is doing a good job. I don'tsee people concerned enough about this. We have to think and domuch more about global warming.

 

>>A BAD DEAL The screaming when the lads are playing the Navy Seals computer game SOCOM during trips on the coach. Shouting at each other like it is a real war. But it is better now, they are playing Super Mario.

 

>>A FANTASY Scoring a goal in an official game. It will be difficult! I would have the chance to dedicate it to my wife.

 

>>A STARK REALITY When I was in Porto Iplayed with MiklosFeher, a Hungarian.After he left forBenfica I waswatching them ontelevision againstVitoria Guimaraes. In the second-halfhe got a yellow card, then put hishands on his knees and was shaking -he died later in hospital of a heartattack. He was young, healthy, a funny guy. That moment mademe think we are nothing.

 

>>I PLAYED WITH HIM Bobby Charlton! (below)It was summer 2004 and Iplayed with Luis Figo in acharity game in theAlgarve and I played in thesame team as Bobby Charlton.It was really funny. Even for his agehe's got speed, technique - and hecan shoot! It was an unforgettableexperience. He is a legend.

 

>>FIRST CAR A black BMW 3.18. I spent all my money on it.

 

>>A COACH I am proud to have worked with José Mourinho for all the obvious reasons. I worked with him in Porto too and he is a winner and makes the players winners. If you believe, you can win.

 

>>FIRST TROPHY When I was young I played for Porto's Academy, but as a professional it was the Portuguese Championship in1996/97. It was my first season in Porto as their number one.

 

>>REASON TO BE PROUD My wife and I have beentogether 13 years. Andmy kids, they are hardwork but amazing,the best thing in mylife. They are at anEnglish school andspeak better English than me. Thatmakes me proud.

 

>>FIRST MISTAKE When I was 13 in school I used to sit near the teacher's table. During a biology lesson I wrote on a book 'Shake before opening'. I didn't know it was his book, I thought it was mine. But when he saw it he laughed and said well done. The whole class laughed!

 

>>I COULD HAVE BEEN A CONTENDER Since I was three yearsold I was saying to my parents that Iwant to be a goalkeeper. That wasall I had in my mind.

 

>>SAVE OF THE MONTH Big Petr in the Manchester United game in the first minute, he touches the 'ball's tail' - it's an expression we have in Portugal when you get a fingertip touch on the ball making a save.

 

>>MUG OF THE MONTH When I was inside an empty box in the corridor at Cobham and I was trying to scare people jumping from it as they looked to see what was inside. A few lads got scared, but the best was Kalou. His colour turned from black to white in two seconds!
