Quotes from Robert Snodgrass

There's been many highs throughout my international career which I'll always remember with fondness, including my debut against Northern Ireland, winning two international player of the year awards, and my hat-trick in Malta.

I'll keep going. That's one thing about myself - I'll roll my sleeves up and keep going.

I had a very rough upbringing.

I scored nine goals for Hull and a hat-trick for Scotland in the first half of the season, you don't do that and then become an average player overnight, so I know I can contribute to West Ham.

I wish we could get back to those days, just let kids go and play and enjoy themselves on the streets instead of at academies too young.

As a Scotsman, my accent can sometimes be difficult for people to understand.

You need to be ready, to adapt quickly and learn fast.

At the start of the season, everyone says you want to go up automatic because the play-offs are intense. But if you go up through the play-offs, it's the best feeling because it's Wembley. But to lose there, I would not like to be on the end of that.

Football is still the most important thing. It keeps me focused and driven every day and that takes me on to be the best dad, son, and friend.

That's the beauty of the play-offs, it's the fear of losing that drives you forwards.

I know myself that when there is a manager who knows how to get the best out of you then it's different - and that's why I chose Villa. I wanted to work with Steve Bruce again.

I learned a lot in my last year at Livingston and even more since coming to Leeds, as a player and on the sports science side.

There are loads of things you can sit and assess but it does come down to one match at a time. This game does speak for itself.
