I did everything I could to win every time I was handed the ball.

I was not a very good football player when I started out.

I wasn't good enough to be a professional soccer player obviously but that was my first goal in life.

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.

But through experience I learned to control my body and locate the ball.

I started playing ball when I was a kid. My dad was a pro ball player and he passed on his knowledge to me.

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.

But I was so wrapped up in sports growing up as a kid, that I think I was going to grow to be a pro ball player. But I found out real quick that was not going to happen.
