I don't recognize myself in the players I see today. There's only one who excites me, and that is Thierry Henry. He's not just a great footballer, he's a showman, an entertainer.

People say you have to hit rock bottom, and, I can tell you, almost dying is as rock bottom as it gets.

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

That's what children do - throw food. That's not fighting. We were real men. We'd have chinned them.

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.

I want to be remembered for my football and the pleasure I gave people.

My one big regret is that I didn’t play on for 10 more years.
