There are so many memories for me in Manchester. Everywhere I go, I think, 'I used to have boutiques here, clubs there, restaurants in that area.'
From George Best
It's a big compliment that so many people want to see me. For them, it's all about football. That's what they remember about me.
Football is big business - you can't get away from it. But you have to separate that side from the playing.
Drink is the only opponent I have been unable to beat.
I used to rush home to see 'Match Of The Day.' Whatever I was doing, I wouldn't miss it.
At the start of the season, there are 16 teams in the top division looking behind them, making sure they avoid relegation. The fear starts in the boardroom, comes down to managers and through to players. The fans sense it.
From the FA to UEFA and FIFA, there's a naivety, a lack of knowledge and understanding and packed with people who are out of touch.
The onus is on the managers to send out an attacking formation and to tell their players to be bold.
I used to dream about taking the ball 'round the keeper, stopping it on the line, and then getting on my hands and knees and heading it into the net. When I scored against Benfica in the 1968 European Cup final, I nearly did it. I left the keeper for dead, but then I chickened out.
My one big regret is that I didn't play on for ten more years.
