Athlete

I was the one who took football off the back pages and put it on to page one.

In England, when an athlete gets to the top, we do our best to destroy him.

I'm lucky that, despite all the bad press I've had over the years, the public still seems to like me.

I used to dream about taking the ball 'round the keeper, stopping it on the line, and then getting on my hands and knees and heading it into the net. When I scored against Benfica in the 1968 European Cup final, I nearly did it. I left the keeper for dead, but then I chickened out.

The best thing about being a dad? Well, I think it's just the thing that every man wants - to have a son and heir.

I was born with a great gift, and sometimes with that comes a destructive streak.

I was 19 or 20 when The Beatles were at their peak, and I was coming up to the peak of my career, too. I was also the first footballer to have long hair, and that's how I got my nickname 'the Fifth Beatle.'

Nobody knows me.

Drink is the only opponent I have been unable to beat.

I used to rush home to see 'Match Of The Day.' Whatever I was doing, I wouldn't miss it.

I'm lucky that, despite all the bad press I've had over the years, the public still seems to like me.

I have always thought I was the best ever player.

That thing about being an icon, the fifth Beatle, I just found it so freaky.

Maybe 'loner' is too strong a word, but I've always enjoyed being on my own.

The onus is on the managers to send out an attacking formation and to tell their players to be bold.

From the FA to UEFA and FIFA, there's a naivety, a lack of knowledge and understanding and packed with people who are out of touch.

I became a beach bum.

David Beckham has never impressed me.

I'd have to be superman to do some of the things I'm supposed to have done, I've been at six different places at six different times.

I rate Fabien Barthez and played with two great keepers in Alex Stepney and Harry Gregg.
