George Best
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.Collection: Fathers
In 1969, I gave up women and alcohol - it was the worst 20 minutes of my life.Collection: Women
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.Collection: Power
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.Collection: Money
Football is a sad game.Collection: Sad
From the FA to UEFA and FIFA, there's a naivety, a lack of knowledge and understanding and packed with people who are out of touch.Collection: Knowledge
I used to rush home to see 'Match Of The Day.' Whatever I was doing, I wouldn't miss it.Collection: Home
You can't trust very many people.Collection: Trust
Love is about mutual respect, apart from attraction.Collection: Respect
I used to go missing a lot... Miss Canada, Miss United Kingdom, Miss World.
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.'
There are good players, there are great players, and there are those few at the pinnacle - the Peles, Cruyffs and Maradonas.
I've stopped drinking, but only while I'm asleep.
David Beckham has never impressed me.
When I look back on my life as a whole, it is impossible for me not to feel blessed.
If I'd been born ugly, you'd never have heard of Pele.
The people of Northern Ireland have sorted out my whole life.
If you make up your own mind, you can only blame yourself.
Players today moan about the number of games, but when you're young, you can't play enough.
I was the one who took football off the back pages and put it on to page one.
The nice thing is that when people come up to me, it's the football they remember, not all the other rubbish.
They'll forget all the rubbish when I've gone, and they'll remember the football. If only one person thinks I'm the best player in the world, that's good enough for me.
Players now have a groin injury for months and months, and I often think they don't really give a toss whether they're playing or not because they're getting paid anyway.
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 became a beach bum.
I have always thought I was the best ever player.
One reason I don't want to play in England again is because we don't have any personalities.
We were the first generation to have to deal with the modern stardom of football. Some handled it better than others.
I was born with a great gift, and sometimes with that comes a destructive streak.
Maybe 'loner' is too strong a word, but I've always enjoyed being on my own.
I noticed that when I touched the ball on the field, you could hear this shrill noise in the crowd with all the birds screaming like at a Beatles concert.
Just as I wanted to outdo everyone when I played, I had to outdo everyone when we were out on the town.
I have really been disillusioned with soccer in England.
People say you have to hit rock bottom, and, I can tell you, almost dying is as rock bottom as it gets.
I got my buzz from playing.
I even found it difficult to watch myself playing on TV because I couldn't identify with the person on the screen. I couldn't get to grips with it. It was as if it was all happening to someone else.
I definitely don't think that money can buy you love. It can buy you affection but certainly not love.
That thing about being an icon, the fifth Beatle, I just found it so freaky.
It all went wrong with football, the thing I loved most of all, and from there, my life slowly fell apart.
I'm lucky that, despite all the bad press I've had over the years, the public still seems to like me.
I can remember earning £5,000 a game playing for Hibs at the end of the Seventies. They let me commute from London, train on the Friday and play on Saturday. That lasted until my friends at the Inland Revenue decided to take two-thirds. That wasn't very entertaining for me.
I was ill, and everyone could see it but me.
I always wanted more - more of everything.
As long as I stay in training and play well, I don't see what objection there can be to what I do off the field.
The onus is on the managers to send out an attacking formation and to tell their players to be bold.
Nobody knows me.
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.
Football is big business - you can't get away from it. But you have to separate that side from the playing.
Drink is the only opponent I have been unable to beat.
I used to dream about taking the ball 'round the keeper, stopping it on the line, and then getting on my hands and knees and heading it into the net. When I scored against Benfica in the 1968 European Cup final, I nearly did it. I left the keeper for dead, but then I chickened out.
