Quote

I know I had been successful in football. I had been successful in broadcasting. I didn't think that anything could touch me. I thought, I can beat anything.

I did enjoy football, but the injury factor for me, you know, I had so many issues. I don't know how long my career would've been.

From my point of view what I have to do now is appreciate and enjoy what football gave me, but now do something else with the same energy and enthusiasm I gave to football without expecting the same results.

I'm blessed to have a little bit of success in football.

My goals in football helped make me disciplined and focused in all areas of my life.

I've played under some of the biggest and best managers and achieved almost everything in football. Of course it hurts when people question it, but I've come to the end of my career and can look back and say I've achieved everything with every club that I've played for.

My early ambitions were the same as they are now - to play for Manchester United. I was, and still am, football mad.

I stopped playing football because I'd done as much as I could. I needed something which was going to excite me as much as football had excited me.

My joy in my life comes from my strength in my life and in my experience with God. That cannot be separated from football. It is all the same to me. It is one. I am one with it.
