Football is a universal language.

The 1966 World Cup was the high point of my career. We may have lost the semi-final, but Portuguese football was a big winner.

I'm a footballer, not a pundit.

I am a happy man. I am no longer out on the pitch but I still live in the football world.

There was one player who was better than Pele. It was Garrincha. He had one leg crooked, the other one straight, normal. How did he do all those things with such difficulties? He was a paralytic! And the way he played! Much better than us all!

Football hasn't got better, it has just evolved, from the ball to the boots to the shirts to the training methods - everything around them.
