There has been lots of things said about me over the years. I am happy to comment on people's opinion in football I respect, but Tony Cascarino is a man I certainly do not respect, for a lot of reasons, and if I told you, you would be shocked. So the day I worry about Tony Cascarino will be a very sad day of my life.

I don't believe skill was, or ever will be, the result of coaches. It is a result of a love affair between the child and the ball.
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.
No celebrity bullshit,no self promotion,an amazingly gifted player who remained an unaffected human being
If it had come to a fight, Patrick [Vieira] could probably have killed me.
