English forward, son of former Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur footballer Teddy, recently joined Saif Sporting Club and wasted little time making an impact, scoring on his Bangladesh Premier League debut against holder Dhaka Abahani Limited. Formerly at top-flight outfit Bournemouth and Wimbledon, the 29-year old featured for a host of English clubs throughout his career before embarking on his Bangladesh adventure. He gave an exclusive interview towhere he shared his thoughts on Bangladesh football, playing golf with English striker Harry Kane and his career, among other topics. Here are the excerpts:Yes, really enjoyed it. It's very different to London. But really enjoying Dhaka.Yes, we have our very own chef downstairs. He makes all the local food. Biriyani is good. I'm really enjoying the food.It's different. Because of the weather here, and the heat. The tempo is a bit slower here. But competition is good here. And Saif Sporting have got some really good players.Just have to practice, have to improve the skills and technique. In England, it (infrastructure) is really advanced. And the young players are so good. If they do want to make it to England or Europe, they (Bangladesh youngsters) have to be exceptionally good. You have to be an amazing player. So if you're a Bangladesh player, you have to keep practising, keep practising. Keep learning all the time. Keep listening to your coaches, and improve.Like I have said already, the tempo of the game is slower. Because of the heat. You know, football here is very different. The last game I played (against Arambagh Krira Sangha), I've never played a team like that. They're just, "defend, defend, defend". They just sat, in their box, parked the bus completely. Never went forward. From the very kick off. They never went forward, only went back. They kick in (goal-kick) and then they go back. I've never seen that before. That was really different. You don't get a team like that (in England).It helps that our coach Ryan [Northmore] is English. He has helped me settle in. Haven't done too much sightseeing yet. I've been to Gulshan a lot. There are some nice hotels. I need some advice from you guys (media). (Smiles). What should I see, what should I do (smiles).I haven't been following the BPL. But I'll be watching the Ashes. Starts today (Thursday). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fp2ky_YZks8He has been a big influence. I've watched him over the years. Seen him play many times when I was a child. Seen him in a lot of games.As a kid, I've played every single sport. You know, football, cricket, hockey, squash, golf, swimming, running. Everything. But now I play a lot of golf.My dad. Of course. Wayne Rooney. And now, my favourite player is Harry Kane.From a young age I wanted to become a striker. Yeah, it just happened. It was always going to happen I think.If the opportunity comes then yes, maybe. It would be nice. It'll be nice, let’s see. Maybe one day in the future.Of course I would love to but realistically, perhaps not. You never know. Never say never.My favourite teammate in England? Ummm, guy plays for Bournemouth, Steve Cook.I played golf with Harry Kane recently. I know a few of them (England footballers) but I’m not close friends with them. And I played with the Essex cricket team recently, with Adam Wheater.
