Football lost its excitement for me.

I didn't study; I live.

After his first training session in heaven, George Best, from his favourite right wing, turned the head of God who was filling in at left-back. I would love him to save me a place in his team, George Best that is, not God.

I play with passion and fire. I have to accept that sometimes this fire does harm.

I'm so proud the fans still sing my name, but I fear tomorrow they will stop. I fear it because I love it. And everything you love, you fear you will lose.

There were moments - I would be daydreaming - I would imagine scenes, even if there wasn't a camera around. In my head, I was acting.

I always planned to retire when I was at the top and at Manchester United I have reached the pinnacle of my career.
