Replying to a redditor:

> Hi Brad, Which stadium has the best atmosphere that you've played in? Does this have any effect on the way you or the team plays? Which player have you really been in awe of, playing with or against? Do you have any plans on taking up managing or coaching when you feel it's time…

> When I played for Galatasaray and we played Fenerbahce at home, that is by far the craziest atmosphere I have ever played in. For me, the louder and crazier the atmosphere, the better it is to play in.
>
> I've never been in awe of a player, however I've been fortunate enough to play with and against some of the best players of all time. So people know, yes Gareth Bale is in the top 7.
>
> Yes, I'm currently taking my UEFA A license and I hope to complete this in one year's time. And, if successful, I will then move on to my pro license and at that time I will make a decision on what I want to do in regards to coaching/managing. I want to learn as much as I can before I jump into that arena.
