Pele

Football is a beautiful game. It is a game of joy.

I am a happy man. I have a beautiful family. I have a beautiful life.

The most important thing in life is to be happy.

I am a dreamer. I always dream big.

Football is my life. It is everything to me.

I am not afraid to die. I have lived a good life.

How can you make a comparison between a guy who heads the ball well, shoots with the left, shoots with the right and another who only shoots with one leg, only has one skill and doesn't head the ball well? To compare with Pele, it has to be someone who shoots well with the left, shoots well with the right and scores headers.

Nick Barmby is up there with Zinedine Zidane, Paolo Maldini and Ronaldo [Nazario].

If you are first you are first. If you are second, you are nothing.

Maradona's only important headed goal was scored with his hand.

If I pass away one day, I am happy because I tried to do my best. My sport allowed me to do so much because it's the biggest sport in the world.

Pele doesn't die. Pele will never die. Pele is going to go on for ever.

If you don't give education to people, it is easy to manipulate them.

I've come to accept that the life of a frontrunner is a hard one, that he will suffer more injuries than most men and that many of these injuries will not be accidental.
