In '82 Brazil showed that you can't win the World Cup without a solid defense.

The boy can do anything, but to be the star of the World Cup you have got to get to the final and win it!

I had no plans once I finished my football career, which was a problem, so I had to go looking for work. Television was the one area that it was easier to get a job than anywhere else.

I hear people saying 'the way the game should be played'. Rubbish. That's the worst saying in football. You win the game, then worry about the way it should be played.

The scar on my forehead is from running through a plate-glass panel when I was 15. I had 27 stitches, which took two hours.

Even though they won't finish in the top four this season, they will still be of the contenders next season.

Manchester City have been in the doldrums for a while, they came up and went straight back down again.

Andy Gray is a great pundit and a great co-commentator. I couldn't co-commentate for love nor money. I've tried but I just can't do it, so as an all-rounder I'd say Andy's much better than I am.

The Italians are very strong defensively. They showed in Euro 2000 how good defensively they are.

I don't think anyone enjoyed it. Apart from the people who watched it.

Everybody likes Brazil and we want the Brazilians to come out.

Potentially he could be. He scored the goal four years ago in France against Argentina that was extraordinary.

When I was playing football, I always felt in complete control. When I play golf and come under pressure, it's a completely different ball game.

I don't expect to see them in the top six but I think of all the teams that have come up in previous seasons, I think Manchester City are the biggest club.

What I always do is just look at the players, look at the best 11 they can put on the pitch.

I think the reality is that, that money was probably badly spent.

It's incredible considering the public perception that he was tight fisted and he was more than prudent, and lacked ambition to take Tottenham to where the fans wanted them to be.

These guys live and breathe football; they get something out of going to the training ground every day.

I always wanted to be a golfer, only I realised that if I'd played golf I would have been skint.

I don't miss playing football, but I do miss going into the dressing room every day and having a laugh.

I only started concentrating on football as a career when I left school at 18. I played golf for the Scottish and British boys' teams.

I played against the Brazilians in '82, who were definitely the best team never to have won the World Cup.

I think if Tottenham are going to be top four side, the fans and the club will need to get away from the philosophy of 'pretty football', that's got to go.

People say I'm bad at a lot of things. One I agree with is that I'm a bad driver.

If you're going to be wrong, be dramatically wrong.
