Beckham in Paris will certainly be good for shopping. I love this player but he is not the footballer he was. And if he comes to Paris now it will be to do something other than football.

I was the classic midfield organiser who could also score goals.

If a FIFA World Cup tournament had been held every year between 1982 and 1986, France would have won two or three.

You know, my role as Vice Chairman is a lot less tiring than playing matches every three days.

I was playing the best football of my career at the time, finishing top scorer in Italy three year's running. There were other good players around but I think I was the best at that time.

We were the best team in the world: European champions in 1984, we qualified without a hitch and 86 was to be the swan song for a very experienced side.

Whenever I was on the pitch, I always tried to win.
