I think what I've actually achieved as a manager does sometimes get a bit overlooked, because all people think about is the media side of things. They tend to forget I've not done so bad.

Paul Scholes has been the best England midfield player for 30-odd years. You'd probably have to go back to Bobby Charlton to find someone who could do as much as Scholes. When the ball arrives at his feet he could tell you where every player on that pitch is at that moment. His awareness is superb.

I'm going to miss his childlike laugh. I'll forget the goals but I'll never forget that laugh.

Thomas Gravesen thinks he's broke his hand, but I told him that you play football with your feet and not your hand.

It's an incredible rise to stardom. At 17 you're more likely to get a call from Michael Jackson than England manager Sven Goran Eriksson.

Believe me, you need good people if you want to make good players.
