I love tackling, it's better than sex!

The problem is, when you come back in you're sweating, so I wait until the very last minute before putting on my shirt so that it's not covered in sweat.

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 don't like publicity, being in the limelight.

Marcel Desailly was pretty hard when I played against him in a Milan derby.

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