Steven Taylor: "It's what I have always dreamed of doing, and I still can't quite believe I am doing it.
"I remember going to a European tie against Barcelona as a kid, when Tino Asprilla scored a hat-trick, and thinking it was the best night of my life. Every goal that went in, the noise got louder, and I wondered then what it must feel like to be out there in the middle.
"A couple of years later, I got the chance to be one of the ball boys, and the same thought crossed my mind. I stepped on to the pitch to sidefoot the ball to Pavel Srnicek, turned round at the sea of faces and thought: 'If only'. Now Pav's a team-mate, and I'm living out my dream. It's unreal.
"It's just the most amazing adrenalin rush when you've got a full house screaming at you at St James'. There is nothing like it, nothing."
