On Walters - "He's one of those guys who never lets you down, his work-rate is unbelievable, and his quality and skill-sets are sometimes undervalued too. People don't give him the credit for the goals that he scores and the contribution he makes. He's a top player and proved himself at Premier League level a long time. He knows where the goal is, he gets himself in the right positions and he's just really reliable, and that's the thing a lot of teams and managers like about him."

He's the guy who is the disciplined one, who'll sit in front of the back four, do the dirty work that people don't appreciate at times. He's made a whole career out of that and that's why he's been so valuable to teams."Top-flight footballers and F1 driver caught up in prostitution scandal
