Hard work will always overcome natural talent when natural talent does not work hard enough.

The culmination of three trophies was the pinnacle of my career and it has been rewarded with a knighthood.

Jose [Mourinho] was one of those guys on a surfboard who can stay longer on the wave than anyone else.

It was the most emphatic display of selflessness I have seen on a football field. Pounding over every blade of grass, competing as if he would rather die of exhaustion than lose, he inspired all around him.

The pace of the game demanded a referee who was fit. It is an indictment of our game. You see referees abroad who are as fit as butcher's dogs. We have some who are fit. He wasn't fit.

Jose understands winning and losing are twins in a way. When you win you don't gloat and when you lose you don't go bananas.

Never give in or give up easily on a cause.
