Q: You’ve not always had pleasant memories of Aussies. Can we take you back to 2005 when Mark Schwarzer saved your injury-time penalty to send Middlesbrough into the UEFA Cup at the expense of your team Manchester City…
A: Yeah, thanks for bringing that up! It’s not the first penalty that I’ve missed, but hopefully it is the last. It wasn’t a bad penalty, it was just a very good save. It was right in the corner. As a forward or a player you want to score every penalty, but to be fair to Schwarz, he made a very good save so I couldn’t say “it was just a bad penalty”. When I stepped up to take the penalty, I caught it cleanly enough, it was just a good save and there is no taking that away from him.
