This is why cup finals are so special because on the day anyone can beat anyone. That’s what it’s all about and that’s why for me the FA Cup and the Carling Cup are the best cups in the world. That’s the beauty of the cup.
A lot of times, you’ll be flipping through country radio and there’s just no substance. Like I’ve said before, it’s all about props: Solo cups or whatever.

I want England to do well. I want us to go to World Cups and win. If I’m not in the best eleven or the best squad, so be it. I’ll support whoever’s involved all the way through.

I inhaled Dickens as a kid, and I’ve always been fascinated by the Victorians. So many ridiculous objects they had! They created things like mustache cups, so you wouldn’t wet your mustache when you were drinking tea. And eyebrow combs. What’s happened to all the eyebrow combs? Marvelous things.
Because I am southern, I love serving mint juleps in silver cups with a sprig of mint as guests enter.
The 1984 European Championships were held in France and that was something important. I felt on form then, even though I was practically always injured at all the World Cups. It’s a great memory. But in any case, the past is past.
Everybody knows my life. I won a lot of tournaments and scored more than 1,000 goals, won three World Cups but I could not play in Olympic Games.

Winning domestic tournaments like leagues, cups, and super cups adds to your standing in your country, but once you take a step forward in Europe and lift that European Cup, I think that prestige extends to the global stage.
My favorite thing from Dairy Queen is a Peanut Buster Parfait, which is: fudge at the bottom, vanilla ice cream, some peanuts, fudge, peanuts, ice cream, fudge, and it’s layered. But I also really like peanut butter cups, so I’ll put peanut butter cups in there.

I’ve been involved in a couple of atrocious World Cups.

I did quite a lot of menial jobs. I was a waiter, an inventory clerk touring round properties listing cups and saucers, and a laserquest marshal.
In ‘Three Cups of Tea’ I was fairly critical of the military. And I mentioned that they’re laptop warriors and there’s no boots on the ground. But I can say now that they’ve gone through a tremendous learning curve.
