If I had an argument with a player we would sit down for twenty minutes, talk about it and then decide I was right!

Telling the entire world and his dog how good a manager I was. I knew I was the best but I should have said nowt and kept the pressure off 'cos they'd have worked it out for themselves.

When I go, God's going to have to give up his favourite chair.

Being thick isn't an affliction if you're a footballer, because your brains need to be in your feet. And Beckham works hard, he's brave and he crosses a ball superbly. He treats a football like he does a wife, lovingly, with caresses.

I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one.

We used to go to the pictures every Saturday night but we had to leave a little bit early and get home and watch Match of the Day - and my wife still complains she missed the last five minutes of every film we saw.

Don't send me flowers when I'm dead. If you like me, send them while I'm alive.
