When I was younger I was listening to a lot of Armenian music you know revolutionary music about freedom and protest. In the 70s I was listening to soul and the Bee Gees and ABBA and funk.
I had my footballing heroes such as Bryan Robson and Diego Maradona but my dad was a rugby league star and he was my real hero. But the relationship with my mum was rocky and we saw things that would affect any youngster.
