[article]At every stage – every summer – I was on the phone to Carra (Jamie Carragher) telling him to find a way to get me back.
“’Does Rafa want me?’ I’d say. ‘Does Kenny want me? Does Brendan want me?’ It was circumstance that stopped it happening. I spoke to Carra and tried to get (Rafa) Benitez to do something. I wanted to try to put it right somehow.
“When it became clear Benitez didn’t want to do a deal, I spoke again with (Alex) Ferguson. He was very positive about me. I was twenty-nine years old. Should I have decided to retire there and then?”[/article]
