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

So I took it as a very positive sign that the club came to me rather than the other way round.

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

When I played in Holland, I always tried to lob the goalkeeper. People used to say, 'Oh, you're always only trying to make a nice goal'. But I said, 'Listen, if the goalie is a little bit off his line, how much space do you have on his left or right?' It's not a lot. 'And how much space do you have above him?

Arsene Wenger's idea is not only to play good football. It's to play good football to win. In my day, we knew that with our style we could hurt teams and win trophies too. But we did it our way, with the positional game, passing, movement.

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.
