I am very mistrustful of people who are constantly over intellectualising things. It kills passion. You have to allow yourself to lose control from time to time.

In England, your life is your life.

Sometimes you surprise the goalkeeper and sometimes the goalkeeper surprises you. In my career, I tried to do more of the first than the second.

I stopped playing football because I'd done as much as I could. I needed something which was going to excite me as much as football had excited me.

I know that I have a face, a look, people aren't used to seeing. A presence.

You are constantly battling against your own weaknesses to make a good performence.

It is enjoyable to make things visible which are invisible.
