The only thing that got me to believe in myself was scoring goals.

When I was young, I would dwell on games and beat myself up about a result. I would lock myself away in the house, almost punishing myself and those around me.

I am taking each game as it comes, enjoying it and taking that little bit of extra time to look around a full stadium, because I know it's not going to last forever. But I will try and make it last as long as possible.

I've only ever moved on when I've not been wanted. Experience has told me, when your time's up, you have to go. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed my time at all the clubs I've been at, and they've all got a special place in my heart.

It was good I left Brighton on a high, like I left Palace on a high but whether Carlisle to Rochdale or Brighton to Palace, as soon as I left that chapter was closed.

It just wasn't the right fit at Bournemouth. I wasn't suited to their style.

I'm never going to be one of these players who dribbles past three and bends it into the top corner from 25 yards. That's not me.

The archetypal No. 10 is a skillful player who is more interested in being in possession than tracking to get the ball back.

I've had many strike partners over the years and usually their aim is to outscore you - and take great pleasure in doing so.

The space between keepers and defenders is referred to as the 'corridor of opportunity' - a well-hit pass in there has the goalie questioning whether to come into traffic and defenders unsure of whether or where to clear the ball.

The lowest point in my non-league career came when I was a teenage substitute for Workington Reds in a game at Blyth Spartans, and some kids started throwing eggs at me and the other subs when we were warming up.

When I left Carlisle United for the first time at the age of 16 in 2000, I hated football.

My time in non-league definitely grounded me and taught me to take nothing for granted - there was no glamour involved, that is for sure.

It was through the Hammerheads that I got a route into the professional game, via a trial at Sunderland from Mick McCarthy and then an invitation to come back to Carlisle in 2004.

I'm an out-and-out striker. It's my job to hold the ball up, to get in the box and to score goals. And, yes, I keep count.

I am what I am. I can't change that.

I need balls put in the box and I need chances to be created for me.

For a striker, the goals never move. Whatever division you're playing in.

I want to continue to play and score as many goals as possible for as long as possible.

I grew up desperate to be a professional footballer and I was willing to do anything to be one.

I can remember playing for Carlisle and just running around like a headless chicken telling the others boys not to worry, that I'd do their running for them. I was just so eager and so keen and desperate to be a footballer that I did that.

I have learned a lot over the years. I have learned how best to use my attributes. That comes with a bit of knowledge and a bit of wisdom.

Obviously, I don't have any real speed to work with so I have to use other things. The modern game is very speed based so as soon as managers see that you haven't got that pace it can be tough.

I think there was a time where the target man went out of fashion and it was all about the small and quick striker.

Rather than just sit there, I would prefer to get out and play football. Brighton have let me do that.

To play week in, week out is all I care about.

I watched 'Match of the Day' growing up every week and I'm talking until I was 29-years-old.

It took me a little bit of time in the Premier League. I came back from an ACL and got one goal in I think six months at Crystal Palace. It wasn't great but I got to grips with the Premier League, started to understand what it's about because it's very different to the lower leagues.

Tactics, gameplan and players are all influential in how a team performs but the question is how to manage every individual in your charge and get them to play like a finely tuned orchestra.

No two managers are the same and I believe how players are man-managed on a daily basis has a huge influence on their performance on the field.

Players want a manager you feel in your gut you want to play for - they can have the best tactics and philosophy in the world but if you have lost a player in his heart or head, you have lost him in every other department.

Eddie Howe was the most tactical manager I have worked under.

As a teenager, I was in the Carlisle schoolboy scheme and while I was excited to join at first, I look back on it as a tough few years.

Let's face it, when you're a striker and the coach is playing you at left-back you know your time is up.

Anyone who's kicked a ball with their mates and played for their local club knows the buzz of being part of a team, playing without fear or pressure.

Chelsea is a club I've always had a soft spot for as they have kept faith with playing a traditional strong and physical No. 9.

Scoring a goal is the best thing in the world because it's the only thing you can't control or predict.

Most things in life you can work for or buy. But I can't guarantee a goal... And when it comes, I can't give that feeling to anyone. Only I can feel it and know it. I want my children, my wife and people close to me to have that feeling. But I can never give them that.

When a club shows interest and a manager wants you it is always nice.

I've added to my abilities since moving to Bournemouth. You are always having to re-learn how to be a centre-forward as the game is moving forward.

If you stop learning at any time, you start to fall down the leagues.

Everyone just plays football, don't they? It is just part of life in England. Once I started I just totally got the bug and never lost it.

If there is ever one thing you learn as a professional footballer, you have a lot of critics and you have the chance to silence your critics.

I had four great years at Palace but just felt it was the right time to start a new chapter of my career.

I must be rubbish as I can only play one sport.

I am just a normal bloke. I take my kids to parties, put the bins out.

I feel every time I score I prove people wrong. People doubt me all the time. They do that to all players but for me it's, 'He's too slow, he's too old.' It annoys those people every time I score and it drives me on.

All goals are amazing. But scoring away from home, if I am honest, is extra special.

Managers can sometimes hold players back for their own benefit.

I've had the privilege of playing in our top seven leagues and the main differences when stepping up are organisation, athleticism and decisiveness. Believe me, the gap is even more evident when you achieve the holy grail of the Premier League.

Football can give everyone who loves the game their great moments and most dreadful disappointments. All it takes is a couple of bad injuries or decisions to turn a season and that's just the unforgiving nature of sport.

Players at the top level are generally more athletic, stronger and more thoughtful. They have a quicker turn of pace but more than anything they're clinical and decisive in their actions.

Teams full of talent and top-flight experience know when to engage a tackle at crucial times, when to compete in an aerial duel or seize on a chance - often resulting in the net rippling.

We know the English market is quite high and I think that sometimes puts clubs off. I think there is a lot of hype around the Premier League.

I think health is the most important thing.

I'd rather walk off the park with two goals instead of one.

It's always nice to go and play the big teams at the big stadiums.

It is well-documented that Bournemouth like to play football. I think I can give them a slightly different dimension when the ball goes into the box.

I know hotel life sounds good but, believe me, it grows old when you have eaten the menu ten times over and you know you've stayed too long when you're on first-name terms with the staff.

And I'm not the kind of person to just sit around.

That's something that drives me on - wanting to prove people wrong. Because the amount of people who have told me, 'no, you're not good enough.' A lot of people fall at that hurdle. But I just kept getting up and looking for that one person who said yes.
