No one saw the recession coming.

I was a naturally aggressive left-back, a cut-throat tackler.

I don't like looking back. I'm always constantly looking forward. I'm not the one to sort of sit and cry over spilt milk. I'm too busy looking for the next cow.

I want my kids to see me as Dad, for God's sake, not a television personality.

The foundation of a financial fresh start actually has nothing to do with money or specific financial dos and don'ts.

If Anglo feels it hasn't done enough damage to me already by taking my money, my company, my reputation, if they want to finish it off by putting me in prison, then so be it - I'll accept that.

Luckily, I had a long career and made good money.

One of my concerns for my children is growing up with your parents having a lot of money.
