"I have said many times that Stevie is the best player that I have played with - by far. 

"He was a big influence for me as a player; I had one career before I started playing with him and one career after I played with him. 

"He changed my game and changed my motivation and ambition. He made me feel that I could really do whatever I wanted. 

"For me, he is going to be the best forever, so to have the chance to play with him on a special day like it is going to be on Sunday, is a privilege. 

"I want to be there on Sunday and be on the pitch with him."
