Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Who is the greatest sportsman of the 20th century?
Michael Jordan.
Holidays: would you prefer a safari, a trek in Nepal or a week in Prague?
A safari. I've been to Africa a couple of times and been on safari. It's a great place.
What has been the highlight of your career?
The day I got my first cap, in 1993, against Romania. Not the most glamorous tie, maybe, but the first is special.
What was the last CD you bought?
I'm going to embarrass myself with this, but it was the Titanic sound track.
Which person from history would you most like to have met?
Julius Caesar. My nickname was Caesar because of a haircut I once had, and I'd like to see how accurate it was.
What one question would you ask Bill Clinton?
Do you like cigars?
How much is an indecent amount to spend on a pair of shoes?
Given my fashion sense, about pounds 50. I've no taste. A shoe is a shoe to me.
What was the last restaurant you ate in and was it any good?
The Conrad in the Chelsea Harbour Hotel. It was good. I had a fry-up the morning after the Wales game. You're allowed to have fry-ups on occasions.

Last week, the tube from Richmond to Covent Garden.
If someone told you they had bet pounds 10 at 50-1 on Ireland to win the Five Nations, what would you say?

What television programme would you stay in to watch?
Only Fools and Horses.
