I didn't know how many people knew who Ferdinand was.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I pity my brother Ferdinand, knowing by my own feelings how sad a thing it is to live apart from one's family.
I knew Manuel Pellegrini from my time in Spain. I'd only heard good things about him, that he was someone who instilled the confidence in his players to go out and play good, attacking football.
I'm not as big a soccer fan as people might imagine, being British.
Because my name is Hungarian, everyone assumed I knew about Hungary. I didn't. They also assumed that if you knew about Hungary, you also knew about the rest of Eastern Europe.
Nobody in England knows the real Luis Suarez.
I started out in Scotland, not as a footballer of any note, and I didn't play to draw the attention of people abroad.
I found out about the Spanish war because I was in Germany when it began.
Jurgen loved London because he could get lost here. He said that it was the first time he could do that in eight years. No one knew him or bothered him. It is great for a person to be able to get lost.

I aimed at the Archduke. I do not remember what I thought at that moment.
