Sometimes now, when I watch continental games on television, I'm a bit bored. I ask, 'where is the intensity?'

I take pride in the fact that people go home having felt that for 90 minutes today, life is beautiful - and that's it, basically. That's why professional football exists.

If you do not believe you can do it then you have no chance at all.

People who work make the world live better and to reward these people well is normal. Yet they are not the people who are the wealthiest.

Ferguson's out of order. He has lost all sense of reality. He is going out looking for a confrontation, then asking the person he is confronting to apologise. He's pushed the cork in a bit far this time.

If somebody stamps on your head in that way, you wouldn't say, 'Thank you very much, can I turn the other cheek'. Only Jesus Christ did that.

The moral values I've learnt in my life I've learnt through football.
