He said: “I'd never dive. I'd like to think of myself as an honest player. That's the way I play. I don't like diving, football doesn't need it.”

“It was a horrible moment and a horrible night.
"Personally, I felt I'd let the players down. I was sad and depressed rather than angry. The players told me not to worry, that it wasn't my fault.
“I appreciated that. And that's when I felt a few tears in my eyes. I don't cry often — and I hadn't cried when I'd been sent off.”
