Liverpool midfielder Conor Coady says playing in today's FA Cup semi for Sheffield United won't go to his head.
The potential trappings of the professional game, the fast cars and flash lifestyle, have never interested Coady.
He told the Sunday Telegraph: "I'm not bothered about all that. It's just football. I don't care about anything else. I've been brought up in a family that just loves football. My little brother plays at Liverpool in the under-13s. All my family are Reds, season-tickets on the Kop. I started watching Liverpool on the Kop; my earliest memories were 2000 onwards when Liverpool won the Treble under Gérard Houllier.
"Steven Gerrard has always been my idol. He's a leader. You get excited when he gets on the ball. You know something's going to happen. I've been to Wembley once before - to watch Liverpool in the Carling Cup final against Cardiff in 2012."
