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.

I gave everything in my career so I have no regrets at all.

I was the classic midfield organiser who could also score goals.

During such a competition players are there for a long time as well as all the people around them. They need to train, to eat, to go out. There ought to be something in it for everyone. On that particular point, my experience has been a bonus.

I gave everything I had to basketball. The passion is still there, but the desire to play is not. It was a great ride.

My first sport was volleyball, and then somebody told me about cross-country. They said it was outdoors, coed, and everybody got to participate. And I said, 'That is the sport for me!'

I had a really bad temper, when I was growing up. Sport helped me channel that temper into more positive acts.

I just love to play football and enjoy it.
