"Who I am? Am I thinking?"

"Never underestimate the power of a simple thought."

"You are not a human being, but you are a thinking and dreaming machine."

"A lot of people, some of them close to me as well, have said that I sacrificed myself by doing what I did in bringing Terry on board. I didn't see it that way."

"I had to make a change. It was no slight on my staff either. We'd all been at Boro for seven years. But certain players had got too familiar with the set-up. I had to turn it round. Terry was the one man I could think of to do it. So I went for him."
