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.

You have to shoot, to want to score goals no matter how. Just score that goal! You can't be afraid to miss.

If you look at the whole package, with everything Henry has, I don't think you can find that anywhere else. You give him the ball in the right place and his acceleration will take him past any defender in the world.

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

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

In Holland and Spain and France, where so many of us come from, people aren't interested in the sex lives of their players. We don't hear these stories - even in Italy where the media is right on top of football.

Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.
