For his efforts, he has received widespread praise, and has been recognised for his efforts from organisations both in and outside of sport, and was subject of a mural painted by street artist Akse in Withington.
In recent years, Ronaldo is the example: wherever you put him in the attacking three, he's going to make an impact and the opposition are going to fear him. Being a constant threat, that's what I need to develop.
I learn something new every game. Every game is always different, no matter how you try and think about it beforehand.
It's not just about showing people what you can do on the ball in those wider positions, it's about gaining the full understanding of each position and what it takes to get that spot.
I want to become the ultimate centre forward. I want to be able to play on the left, on the right, and down the middle.
I want to score more goals; the main ambition is goals.
For me, sometimes it's more important to perform well in training and know that I am improving rather than scoring in a game. It's doing the hard work, day in, day out.
Emotionally, making my debut has been the highlight so far. I didn't know I was starting until three minutes before. I went in and put my shirt on, and the team were already in the tunnel.
I now get recognised in the street, which is strange, but I don't go out as much as I used to. It's not a downside; I just have to be a bit more private.
Growing up, Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo were the players I looked up to -- and Carlos Tevez when he was at the club.
Of course I am happy to play in any of the attacking roles, but for me, where I can score the most goals is down the middle.
