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

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

They told me I wouldn't make 25. Then it was 35, then 45. These were my doctors speaking - they're all dead now.

When they first installed all-seater stadiums everyone predicted that the fans wouldn't stand for it

I'm OK. Much better than on other occasions. It's true that I've made lots of mistakes but I've never tried to bother anyone. I want to stay alive, preferably in peace, without seeing every one of my mistakes in the papers, and on many occasions, even stories that are lies.

Everyone went crazy over Wayne Rooney, but I get more excited by Cristiano Ronaldo.

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