In this country, since footballs made from pigs' bladders were whacked into goals without nets, we've played on full-size pitches. Whatever our age.

I've known Mark Hughes for half a lifetime. We joined Barcelona in the same summer of 1986, played together under Terry Venables and Luis Aragones, and have kept in touch ever since.

I was only interested in scoring goals. I wasn't interested in anything else.

The truth is I don't feel too bad for my age. I actually have a better shape now than I used to.

Our games are not always the best, but they are exciting, which is what people love to see.

Feel ashamed of my generation. We've let down our children and their children.
