I try to avoid saying 'fantastic' too often and 'obviously' is a dangerous word for all broadcasters.

Very sad to hear the news about George Michael. An incredible talent who brought joy to millions of us with his music.

You've got no chance of reaching the top if you're just playing for money.

He's got great credentials by winning the World Cup, but he did it with Brazil - my granny could probably have managed Brazil to World Cup success.

I've loved George Michael for as long as I can remember. He was an absolute inspiration. Always ahead of his time.

...an excellent player, but he [Ian Wright] does have a black side.

Soccer is a game for 22 people that run around, play the ball, and one referee who makes a slew of mistakes, and in the end Germany always wins.
