There would be no debate about who was the best footballer the world had ever seen - me or Pele. Everyone would say me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Pele was the most complete player I've ever seen.
If I'd been born ugly, you'd never have heard of Pele.
I see myself as the best footballer in the world. If you don't believe you are the best, then you will never achieve all that you are capable of.
That save from Pele's header was the best I ever made. I didn't have any idea how famous it would become - to start with, I didn't even realise I'd made it at all.
If I'd still been in one piece from the World Cup and gone through my career, what type of player would I have been? No doubt about it, if I hadn't had as many injuries I would have been the all-time leading scorer for England.
I look at athletes in all sports and try to picture what kind of football player they'd be, what position they'd play and so on.
I see myself not only as a football player, but an entertainer and icon.
This stupid celebrity thing is just a consequence of being good at what you do. I mean, no one would photograph David Beckham if he wasn't the best attacking midfielder in the country - much as I hate Man. U!
There are good players, there are great players, and there are those few at the pinnacle - the Peles, Cruyffs and Maradonas.
There isn't a single player I would pay to watch. You can say Thierry Henry, he's a fabulous striker, with pace and power, but a great entertainer needs to have charisma, too. Does he have charisma? No.
