I like to knuckle down and get on with my job. I'll make mistakes, I'm bound to, but I'll write them down and I'll learn from them.

I just didn't want to walk away from football without knowing what it meant to be a manager, or even wondering what it was like to be sacked.

I hope to be back in management in the next future

Liverpool fans were great to me, I still live near the city and they always come up and shake my hand.

I love tackling, love it. Its better than sex.

Back in my time, and I sound old now, it was black and white boots and that was it. Now you've got snoods, people wearing headphones when they are doing interviews, which I find disrespectful, pink boots, green boots, you name it they've got it, tights - they'll be wearing skirts next.

I am happy to be a role model for anybody - whether they are black, white, yellow, pink or purple.
