Paul Gascoigne
But then I always wanted to play for Rangers. Man United is a great club and Alex Ferguson is a legend.
Paul GascoigneI won player of the year and players' player, two cups and two championship medals, had a great time.
Paul GascoigneI never predict anything, and I never will.
Paul GascoigneI do want to be a manager one day. It might be 10 years, I don't know when.
Paul GascoigneIf the fans want me out, I'll put my hands up and leave. Like a proper man. I won't make excuses, I'll leave.
Paul GascoigneI don't know whether I will drink again in my life but I didn't drink yesterday, I am not drinking today and I'll try not to drink again tomorrow.
Paul GascoigneI am going to continue and bring this club forward. I am Paul Gascoigne the footballer.
Paul GascoigneBut if I wasn't playing, I would drink Saturdays, then Sunday, then Monday. Then I would try and train and it was no good, then have another drink just to pass the day away.
Paul GascoigneHopefully everybody will just let me get on with my life. I'm going to.
Paul GascoigneI'll tell you the truth: I had a double brandy before the game but, before, it used to be four bottles of whisky. Not any more. I was fine. I had a glass of wine after the game. But it was just a mouthful.
Paul GascoigneI'm going to do things when they are right for me.
Paul GascoigneI don't really do pranks any more. I have a laugh in the dressing room here, where it's safe, and the guys don't go to the papers and tell them what I've done.
Paul GascoigneI still have my problems but I try and deal with them a bit better now. I don't let them ride on for a month then realise I've got a stack of them.
Paul GascoigneIf I want to be a better person for whoever is in my life, I have to learn.
Paul GascoigneI've had to deal with everything but everyone has helped me, including Sir Alex Ferguson, to get through. George Best was a good friend of mine. We loved each other, we both knew where we were coming from.
Paul GascoigneI feel sorry for the fans because they are laying out a lot of money now and if the players don't perform, they are getting robbed of their money.
Paul GascoigneI fought back, got injured again and I had to have another operation. I got down and depressed and I think I was drinking more than I should. Well, I know I was.
Paul GascoigneI've got a bit of money in the bank. I'm quite comfortable.
Paul GascoigneAnd that way, I don't blame other people. I'm the one that has to keep off the drink. I'm taking responsibility for my life on everything.
Paul GascoigneThe players are still behind me, Kettering is behind me, the staff is behind me, everyone is behind me. Unfortunately, the chairman is not.
Paul GascoigneWhen I was playing, I wasn't drinking at the weekends. Not after the game, not on Sundays, when I would just relax, have a sauna, things like that.
Paul GascoigneI'm going to do things that make me happy. I have always felt that other people are running my life. I don't want that any more.
Paul GascoigneI thought I did well for someone who has been out for 10 or 11 months. Then I was sub against Liverpool and tried to play for the guys and work on my fitness.
Paul GascoigneI like to help create team spirit in the dressing room. I feel that I've got loads of love to give.
Paul GascoigneI know as a manager you have to abide by the chairman's decisions. But his decisions were this team, that team, this player, that player. The chairman is a control freak.
