'I do,' he interrupted, not liking the implication that he is slacking.[LNB] 'I do every day...If I don't work that hard then somebody else will be overtaking me. Someone else will be taking my job. I have to work every day, every week as if it's my last.'[LNB]Corbett admits that while he had always admired the current incumbent in the Goodison Park hotseat from afar - his work for World Football Insider as European Correspondent mean that his own team aren't always 'on his beat' - he could not help but be impressed when meeting Moyes face-to-face.[LNB]He said: 'Moyes has an ambition and a desire to win whatever the odds might be against him.
