You need people who score goals. That's how you win games

I feel that every time I get the ball at the moment I am going to score.

There is no doubt that I would have won more honours had I signed for Manchester United as a youngster.

I don't want to be modelling G-strings. It's not that good for my image – I'm a footballer not a tart

Nobody on this planet had a range of passing like Paul Scholes. Training every day was a pleasure just watching him. Unbelievable career.

Instead of being a person to whom things happened, I became a person who made things happen.
