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

I was in for 10 hours and had 40 pints - beating my previous record by 20 minutes

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

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

I used to go missing a lot... Miss Canada, Miss United Kingdom, Miss World.

I spent 90% of my money on women and drink. The rest I wasted

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.
