Pele called me the greatest footballer in the world. That is the ultimate salute to my life.

Football is a sad game.

He can't kick with his left foot, he can't head a ball, he can't tackle and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that he's all right.

I even found it difficult to watch myself playing on TV because I couldn't identify with the person on the screen. I couldn't get to grips with it. It was as if it was all happening to someone else.

The best thing about being a dad? Well, I think it's just the thing that every man wants - to have a son and heir.

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

I'd give all the champagne I've ever drunk to be playing alongside him in a big European match at Old Trafford.
