I wouldn't be were I am now without my parents.
— Kieran Trippier
Beckham was the one I always looked up to - the technique, his crossing on the move or set-pieces. But as a kid, I just played with my brother. He was playing for Oldham, in League One and League Two, and he's the one I really looked up to.
You know when you've had a bad game.
If I'm having problems, I speak to my older brother, who used to play professional football.
Sometimes you have to wait. Sometimes you have to be patient, and your chances will come.
I didn't think twice about coming to a big club.
My delivery is something I always worked on.
I've never met Beckham, but I'd love to. I'm a massive fan of him. Hopefully we can cross paths and chat.
Obviously, I don't go into a game not wanting to do well. I go into every game to try to do my best for my team-mates and the club.
I work hard on the training field every day.
There's some days you start to think, 'When is my chance going to come?' As a professional, you always have that at the back of your mind.
My dad was a tree surgeon. When I was younger, he was working away five days a week for weeks on end, just trying to get as much money.
I just looked up to my brother because he was a professional. He was the one I wanted to follow.
I've picked up a lot of injuries, and there's been games when I've looked back and watched and thought, 'I could have done this better,' 'I could have done that better.'
My brother is brutally honest with me - he always has been - and he's the first one I text after games. He has a nice chat with me and tells me how I did. He's one I've always looked up to, and I'll always respect him for that.
Ever since I was in the youth team at City, I've always loved crossing the ball.
Representing England makes me emotional.
