“I have always maintained a high level of fitness, and that is why I am...” — Richard Gough Quote

I have always maintained a high level of fitness, and that is why I am still able to handle the demands of playing in the Premiership. People have always commented on my fitness, and it's something I pride myself on.

We train in the mornings, and then I go home and rest or sleep, and usually I go for a meal with Abel of a night, as we're the two with no family here, so we tend to hang around together.

My Mother is Swedish and my Father is Scottish, he played for Charlton in the 1960's and was in the Army, he captained the British forces team. We then moved to S.A. because a lot of players did that at the time.

There is a lot of things to weigh up when a transfer happens, and money is a big factor.

I think that fitness really kind of saved me and made me the person that I am today, through losing my dad and everything that I've had to deal with.

To enjoy the glow of good health, you must exercise.

I recommend that people try new stuff or take new fitness classes all the time. It's important to mix up your routine, not only for your body, but also for your mental state.

I've been into fitness since I was 13.

I created a fitness club with five friends. We have weekly check-ins and a reward system - and group penalties if one of us slacks off.
