I can't wait to play with Stevie again
"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."
