Football is a sad game.

If I had to choose between dribbling past 5 players and scoring from 40 yards at Anfield or shagging miss world, it'd be a hard choice. Thankfully, i've done both

I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Pele called me the greatest footballer in the world. That is the ultimate salute to my life.

In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol - it was the worst 20 minutes of my life.

Every team has a hard man. We has Nobby Stiles, Chelsea had Chopper, Arsenal had Peter Storey, Liverpool had Tommy Smith. Leeds had eleven of them

I'd give all the champagne I've ever drunk to be playing alongside him in a big European match at Old Trafford.

They say Paul Gascoigne is the new George Best but has he shagged three Miss Worlds?

Pain is temporary, glory...lasts forever!

I used to go missing a lot... Miss Canada, Miss United Kingdom, Miss World.

I never went out in the morning with the intention of getting drunk. It just happened.

Even in solitude, silence stays, like a loyal supporter, with its unbroken presence.

My life was forever changed the day I realized there was a big difference between having a dream and chasing it.

Where there's hope, there's life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.

I have been on my own all my life except during those touring days.

In a great romance, each person plays a part the other really likes.

I never overcame my conviction that writing for commercial television was a kind of prostitution.

Pride is the utter poverty of soul disguised as riches, imaginary light where in fact there is darkness.

One feature film that I am most proud of is Forrest Gump which starred Tom Hanks. Once you are called out to work in film, yes it is a small industry and your name gets around pretty fast.

The dependant who cultivates delicacy in himself very little consults his own tranquillity.

And I, the while, the sole unbusy thing, Nor honey make, nor pair, nor build, nor sing.
