football captains clubs
I was captain of Wales; I've been captain of numerous football clubs.
fishing alaska salmon
I like Alaska for the salmon fishing - it's fantastic there. I usually stay in a log cabin with no one around for miles. I like to go with friends, but I'm also happy to be on my own with nature.
heart disease awareness
Awareness about heart disease has got to be raised.
shoes hats wells
I buy hats like women buy shoes. I have well over 150.
bows strings plenty
I've plenty of bows to my string.
boys mps class
I'm a Conservative, but I talk for the ordinary working classes. I get on with the boys at the pub, but I can also mix with Prince Andrew. I understand both levels. The toffs haven't lived in council estates; they've just known big mansions. How can they understand how the postman feels? I would never say no to becoming an MP.
children holiday home
I always went to Ireland as a child. I remember trips to Dundalk, Wexford, Cork and Dublin. My gran was born in Dublin, and we had a lot of Irish friends, so we'd stay on their farms and go fishing. They were fantastic holidays - being outdoors all day and coming home to a really warm welcome in the evenings.
football memories school
Football became my life at five or six. The earliest memory I have is of playing in my first boots, a pair of black and white Alan Balls. It was 1970, four years after the World Cup, and I scored three goals at school.
should-have games giving
Egil Olsen should have gone six games ago. He was totally useless. I'd like to give him a right-hander!
gay saving-up hollywood
To get on in Hollywood, you've gotta be a bit gay and a bit Jewish, and I'm saving up to be Jewish.
football weather care
I got into moisturiser when I played football. If you're out in all weathers you have to take care of your face.
men tights bizarre
All of my shows involve men in tights. It's a bit bizarre, really.
football team moving
Film is like football - you join a team, get close to one or two people, then never hear from them again. I don't get emotionally involved. Do one, move on.
boys thinking years
Look at me - I was the boo boy for years and years. Did I ever think I would end up in Hollywood or the FA Cup final? No, I didn't.
