What the World Cup means to... Kieran Trippier

What was the first World Cup you can remember watching?
I can recall the one where Ronaldinho scored the free-kick against England – that must have been 2002. I don’t know if he meant it but it was a good goal. It’s just a shame that was the goal that knocked England out. That’s the moment that sticks in my mind as being my first clear recollection of the World Cup.

Who were the stars that year?
The Brazilian team was phenomenal with obviously Ronaldinho, Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo and Ronaldo – they were fantastic to watch.
