“When I got my first professional contract from Ian St John - the Portsmouth manager at the time - my wages went up to £75 and the big bonuses stayed the same.”
“All my mates are massive Leeds fans because I live in Wakefield, but my best friend in the entire world is the Middlesbrough chairman.”
“Football's about winning and I'm a winner, but you also have to set standards and entertain people.”
“When you see the fans all in together - elation and sadness sat next to each other, kids crying and the other half of the family up there, giving it all that - that's just incredible.”
“I've got some horses which, unfortunately due to my job, I don't spend enough time with them, but they're my release when I get home. I go down to the stables, muck 'em out and spend a bit of time with them and they love me and it's great just going home to see them.”
“My only regret is that I didn't play for Howard Wilkinson earlier. I would have achieved more and played even longer if I had.”
“You can only beat the opposition that's in front of you, you can only win the trophies that you go for.”
“This country was fine in my opinion before Brexit, so let's all settle down.”
“It's a privilege to be a football manager, even when you've been beaten or you're bottom of the table.”
“I always have a bet at the start of each season, looking at the teams and the squads. I know there's a big element of unpredictability but if you've got your financial structure sorted out you've got a chance.”
“I never thought in my wildest dreams I'd ever be offered a record deal, and to get a Christmas No. 1 would be huge for any performer, let alone an ex-footballer.”
“I always admired Graeme Souness.”
“Of course David Moyes is going to come under scrutiny because he's taken over from a legend in Sir Alex Ferguson and they've made their worst start to a season in 24 years. But we mustn't take away credit from what West Brom did. Few teams go to Old Trafford and dominate the ball and carve out chances the way they did.”
“I got injured just before we filmed 'Ninja Warrior,' which stopped me playing football with my mates. I haven't played football since. I'm crocked now, my back has gone and I feel like my body has packed in.”
“It was quite surreal. Me and my wife went on holiday to America and the security was really tight in the airport. And the security officer that was letting us go through to Los Angeles kept looking at my photo and then he said, 'I know you don't I?' And I said 'Do ya?' and he said 'You're the guy with the bloopers'”
“I sang 'Your Song' by Elton John, and Silva Screen Records were watching. They got in touch with my agent then had the idea of the Christmas album.”
“Well, when I was at Leeds it was the best and worst time of my career, because when I was a kid it was my ambition to play for Middlesbrough, where I was born, and my dream to play for Leeds, and everyone said I couldn't have two teams.”
“I drink tea like Oliver Reed used to drink beer. I must get through about 12 to 15 cups a day.”
“I actually fell down the steps on 'Ninja Warrior.'”
“This is an old film from donkeys' years ago, but the first film I ever... the first time I ever cried watching a movie was when I was watching 'The Champ.'”
