I was playing the best football of my career at the time, finishing top scorer in Italy three year's running. There were other good players around but I think I was the best at that time.

I'd played some very good games, at Manchester United, at Tottenham Hotspur, but they'd lacked a goal. There've been times when I could have scored myself, but I've played a pass to a team-mate instead.

I played for 30 years, 20 with England and I did it by setting goals.

I remember how inspiring it was to meet players like Bobby Charlton or Bryan Robson when I was a kid. I still remember Clive Allen showing up when I received a trophy for my Sunday league team.

I was a very average player and became a trainer in Germany with a special club.

I played a lot of football, and I was a goalkeeper, but I didn't really like playing in goal.

I couldn't have been a great goalkeeper without power, agility and quickness.

At Barcelona, I had the best players ever, and they helped me to be a successful manager.

I'm famous for being a silky midfielder.
