I've had to deal with everything but everyone has helped me, including Sir Alex Ferguson, to get through. George Best was a good friend of mine. We loved each other, we both knew where we were coming from.

What is the world coming to when you get a red card and get fined two weeks' wages for calling a grown man a wanker?

If the fans want me out, I'll put my hands up and leave. Like a proper man. I won't make excuses, I'll leave.

Then all the foreigners started coming over. I don't mind that but a lot of teams are laying out fortunes for ordinary players and that's no good for our youngsters coming through.

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.

I've got a bit of money in the bank. I'm quite comfortable.

I've had 14 bookings this season-eight of which were my fault, but seven of which were disputable.
