"The Premier League has done a great job for football, I think it is the best league in the world.
"Blackburn winning the Premier League at Anfield was an amazing day. I was playing for Liverpool, everyone at Anfield wanted Rovers to win instead of Man Utd!"
"My favourite moment is Aguero winning Man City the title in 2011/12, it can't be topped
"Dennis Bergkamp was a genius. If you look at all these flair players you have now, he started it. Thierry Henry brought that sauce, I remember playing against him"
