Troy Aikman is one of my best friends.
Every time Maradona speaks it makes life difficult for everyone and there are those of us who don't agree with that, not when he talks about football, but rather about people.
Cassano? His talent has never been in question, but his character has. As Italian captain and a big admirer I can only wish him to control his nerves better.
Diego Costa doesn't show any emotion. I am more emotional. So I have learned to control my emotions.
I'm a massive fan of Didier Drogba, I love the way he plays. He's not as stacked as me but he's strong and he's still scoring goals. I'm a fan of Diego Costa as well. I think he crosses the line at times but I like the fact he doesn't allow himself to be bullied.
Ottmar is a big coach and a good gentleman. I don't know if I'm a young Schweinsteiger; I'm another player. I am Granit Xhaka.
Abe Krok was a man of integrity who made a unique contribution to Mamelodi Sundowns and to South African football.
My favourite English player of my time was Paul Gascoigne. I interviewed him several times, always entertaining.
Maldini was a key figure in world football. I have always had great admiration for him as a player and as a human being. I faced him in many derbies - he was tough but always very loyal.
Paul Scholes was the main figure for me growing up. His attitude, he's humble off the pitch - you didn't hear much about him - but on the pitch, he was loud, aggressive, liked to tackle, and I learned off him.
I always had much respect for Rudi Voller.
Patrick Vieira was one of my favourite players.
It is always nice to have a message from Jose Mourinho.
Back in my days, my favorite opponent was Diego Maradona.
Matthaus is a legend of the German game and he can say whatever he wants.
I have many footballer friends including I M Vijayan.
