Even as a footballer, I was always being creative.

I manage a team, for beach soccer. I'm the coach. Player, coach.

If you have only one passion in life - football - and you pursue it to the exclusion of everything else, it becomes very dangerous. When you stop doing this activity it is as though you are dying. The death of that activity is a death in itself.

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.

You can change your wife, your politics, your religion, but never, never can you change your favourite football team.

Anyone who is different or is slightly out of the norm, is considered crazy.

I don't need to be involved with a game watched by millions of people to be fulfilled.
