He is renowned for his football prowess, however, he is also remembered for his love of women, alcohol, his jet set lifestyle, and his infamous quotes... here are just a few:
"In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol - it was the worst 20 minutes of my life."
"I used to go missing a lot... Miss Canada, Miss United Kingdom, Miss World."
On David Beckham:
"He cannot kick with his left foot, he cannot head a ball, he cannot tackle and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that he's all right."
On being named Footballer of the Century in 1999
“It's a pleasure to be standing here. It's a pleasure to be standing up."
On being sent to prison for drink driving in 1984:
"Well, I suppose that's the knighthood f****d.'"
and
our favourite...
"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."
