I won player of the year and players' player, two cups and two championship medals, had a great time.

I had to accept that I was an alcoholic, that was the main thing. I think you've got to. But I try not say that I'm an alcoholic. I prefer to say that it's a disease I've got.

If you're fortunate to have talent and getting paid for something you love doing. All you've got to do is perform for 90 minutes.

I won player of the year and players' player, two cups and two championship medals, had a great time.

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'll tell you the truth; I had a double brandy before the game but, before, it used to be four bottles of whisky. Not any more. I was fine. I had a glass of wine after the game. But it was just a mouthful.
