George Best

There are so many memories for me in Manchester. Everywhere I go, I think, 'I used to have boutiques here, clubs there, restaurants in that area.' ”

Dave Mackay is my definition of a superstar. The man broke his leg three times, but wouldn't be carried off. He walked off. ”

I was 19 or 20 when The Beatles were at their peak, and I was coming up to the peak of my career, too. I was also the first footballer to have long hair, and that's how I got my nickname 'the Fifth Beatle.' ”

I was the one who took football off the back pages and put it on to page one. ”

At the start of the season, there are 16 teams in the top division looking behind them, making sure they avoid relegation. The fear starts in the boardroom, comes down to managers and through to players. The fans sense it. ”

When I was playing, there were always lots of teams in contention for the league - Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Leeds. Every week was a big game and a big battle. ”

I'm lucky that, despite all the bad press I've had over the years, the public still seems to like me. ”

I'd have to be superman to do some of the things I'm supposed to have done, I've been at six different places at six different times. ”

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

The best thing about being a dad? Well, I think it's just the thing that every man wants - to have a son and heir. ”
