At school, I was always a central midfielder from a young age. Then, when I joined Villa at 16, the pre-season didn't go too well, so they looked at me as a centre-half.
I believe I could be a good centre-half.
I'd like to think that centre-half is my best position.
To be honest, from England Under-16s, through the 17s and 18s, really all the way through my youth career, I played at centre-half. For some reason, when I made my debut at Everton, I just played in central midfield, and it went from there.
I've played at centre-half plenty of times before.
Anyone who wants to be a centre-half would have to say that John Terry is a role model. Every centre-half in the game would agree with that. It is the way he leads the team and the way he reads the game.
England Under 16, Under 17, Under 18, I played centre-half. But back then, David Moyes thought it was difficult to throw a 16-year-old in there. There was a big hype around me. He wanted me to fulfil my potential; he wanted to get me in as early as possible.
I'm slightly concerned, because as a centre-half who took a lot of knocks to the head I'm not normally synonymous with being a fashion icon.
I'm a defender first and foremost, and if I'm playing right centre-half, I am even more of a defender than the wing-backs.
I think it's important that you're vocal during the match, especially at centre-half. You're basically the eyes and ears of the team, and if you don't open your mouth, it's not going to help the team out.
For me, growing up, my main role model was Rio Ferdinand when he was playing with England. He was a centre half. I liked his style of play, and he played with a lot of passion.
I've played all over, to be honest. Centre-half, defensive midfield, attacking midfield.
I like centre-half, but I can play centre-mid as well.
When I played, I was an English-style centre-half. Always with my heart, always with my fighting spirit.
For England, I play centre-half. I enjoy it. You face all the best strikers in the world. I enjoy the challenge.
Eventually, I think I'll probably end up at centre-half. By the time I get to 28 or 29, I imagine I'll be a defender.
Huth is the sort of centre-half who will let you know he is there, so to speak, with a challenge or two early in the game.
I've always been a centre-half, to be honest.
Stoichkov's playing on the wing, in this situation he likes to come in and scalp the centre-half.
