* "England can end the millennium as it started - as the greatest football nation in the world."
* "I know what is around the corner - I just don't know where the corner is. But the onus is on us to perform and we must control the bandwagon."
* "They compare Steve McManaman to Steve Heighway and he's nothing like him, but I can see why - it's because he's a bit different..."
* "In some ways, cramp is worse than having a broken leg."
* "Should Al-Fayed get a British passport? 1000 per cent yes."
* "The good news for Nigeria is that they're two-nil down very early in the game..."

* "That would have been a goal if it wasn't saved."

* "The problem in our country is that we use hindsight as our judge. When she [Margaret Thatcher] was in power, there were a lot of good things done, but people will always pick out bad things. She was a good lady."
