'I felt proud watching Young'

Ashley Young started playing football a long time ago. It is a credit to the hard work that he has put in that he is still playing today at 39 years old, because if he wasn't working as hard then he simply would not be playing.

I played in the England Under-21s with him and he is probably the last of our age group to still be playing and especially to be doing it in the Premier League - it's a credit to his adaptability and how he has changed his game over the years that he still is. When I first started playing with him he was a winger but now he is a full-back.

I do not think he has always been given credit but he will now go into the record books because his goal against Wolves makes him the oldest person to score a free-kick in the Premier League!

The most important thing is that he really looks after himself and he still has the drive to win, which is exactly what Sean Dyche needs in this Everton side. Dyche has the option of players in that position who are younger but he knows what he is going to get from Young and that he will deliver.

It is a super physical game in the Premier League, but he is still a solid defender while also being good in attack. So that, paired with his experience, makes for one of Everton's most important players.

I think he will be an inspiration to a lot of people. He is proving that you can still play in your late thirties if you have the right attitude, look after yourself and have the fortune of not getting injured.

I felt proud watching him against Wolves when he was sliding on his knees in celebration. It must be a really, really nice feeling for him too.
