As long as I stay in training and play well, I don't see what objection there can be to what I do off the field.

One reason I don't want to play in England again is because we don't have any personalities.

Just as I wanted to outdo everyone when I played, I had to outdo everyone when we were out on the town.

Players now have a groin injury for months and months, and I often think they don't really give a toss whether they're playing or not because they're getting paid anyway.

I was probably the first footballer ever to have a pop-star profile, and my agent was right when he said we could put my name on stair rods and sell them to people in bungalows.

My one big regret is that I didn't play on for ten more years.

At the start of the season, there are 16 teams in the top division looking behind them, making sure they avoid relegation. The fear starts in the boardroom, comes down to managers and through to players. The fans sense it.

Drink is the only opponent I have been unable to beat.

Football is big business - you can't get away from it. But you have to separate that side from the playing.

It's a big compliment that so many people want to see me. For them, it's all about football. That's what they remember about me.
