I would like to compare football and cinema. I think it's very similar. It's two games... different games. You have to work very hard and find the confidence to enjoy it on the pitch or in the film.

Those who hate or disrespect Sir Alex Ferguson , its only because he snatched away their dreams of winning.

When I was banned for nine months I had an opportunity to focus on something else and I needed to focus on something else. It's who I am. I admire Miles Davis and Chet Baker a lot and I like this instrument, so I tried and I learned and practised for two months. But I stopped after that.

I would love him to save me a place in his team, George Best that is, not God.

A home is crucial, the foundation of a stable family.

I always knew I had to work hard.

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.
