Playing football was like being trapped in a rhythm, and my whole career was like that. You have very little time to switch off.

My goals in Holland were known as 'stiffies', which means something quite different in England of course.

I've never seen myself as a manager. As a manager, you have to put all your time into the job, and that would be difficult for me.

I don't want to lose myself in football and that's what a coach has to do to be successful.

People can say the money doesn't really matter but it does show you how much a club respects you.

I love playing football, being out on the pitch with a ball, and I will be a little sad when that ends.

When you beat a team so often - especially like this season when Chelsea had already lost three times to us - you know people expect you to do it again. But you also know they're going to be even more motivated to finally win.
