I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes an art. When you read some books they are fantastic, the writer touches something in you that you know you would not have brought out of yourself. He makes you discover something interesting in your life. If you are living like an animal, what is the point of living? What makes daily life interesting is that we try to transform it to something that is close to art.

Sol has experience, pace and physical power, which nobody else has together.

When I first came to Arsenal, I realised the back four were all university graduates in the art of defending. As for Tony Adams, I consider him to be a doctor of defence. He is simply outstanding.

A manager is a guide. He takes a group of people and says, 'With you I can make us a success; I can show you the way.'

You weren’t world-class when Arsenal signed you.

You build a player like you build a house. You start with the foundations. The fundamentals.

I know how important it is to have a helping hand.
