Even at the height of my fame, 50 per cent of the people who saw me wanted a fight; it’s the downside of being a star player.

If I had been born ugly, you would have never heard of Pele

One day they might even say that I was another Ryan Giggs.

Robert Redford used to be such a handsome man and now look at him: everything has dropped, expanded and turned a funny color.

There isn't a single player I would pay to watch. A great entertainer needs to have charisma.

Cristiano Ronaldo's was the most exciting debut I've ever seen. There have been a few players described as 'The New George Best' over the years, but this is the first time it's been a compliment to me.

If you'd given me the choice of going out and beating four men and smashing a goal in from thirty yards against Liverpool or going to bed with Miss World, it would have been a difficult choice. Luckily, I had both.
