I got eight O-levels at school...zero in every subject.

I've learnt and I just want to be respected for what I've achieved on the pitch. I know I haven't achieved much off it but I do know I've given pleasure to people watching me play football over the years.

I like to help create team spirit in the dressing room. I feel that I've got loads of love to give.

I don't know whether I will drink again in my life but I didn't drink yesterday, I am not drinking today and I'll try not to drink again tomorrow.

Scholesy is one of my favourite players of all time. He was a great professional who had everything and I used to love playing with him. You could give him the ball in any position, he would take one touch and you would know exactly what the next move would be. [ . . . ] He was magical, pure class.

Everywhere I looked life seemed to be full of problems and they were just going to go on and on. It was never going to get any better.

I know I would have had a lot more trophies in my cabinet if I went with him [Sir Alex Ferguson].
