I want to be remembered for my football and the pleasure I gave people.
He's not fit to lace my boots as a player. (on Kevin Keegan)
You can't trust very many people.
I was ill, and everyone could see it but me.
Even at the height of my fame, 50 per cent of the people who saw me wanted a fight; it’s the downside of being a star player.
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.
Don't die like I did.
I was born with a great gift, and sometimes with that comes a destructive streak.
My one big regret is that I didn’t play on for 10 more years.
I always wanted more - more of everything.
Love is about mutual respect, apart from attraction.
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.
To call Keegan a superstar is stretching a point.
People say you have to hit rock bottom, and, I can tell you, almost dying is as rock bottom as it gets.
