Leaving Tottenham was not by best choice but, apart from that, there haven't been too many regrets in my career.
My career has been the best part of 50 years. If I had to go through it all again, I'd love to, warts and all. There have been so many good things that they outweigh the bad. But I do have regrets.
Despite all that has happened in his career since, one of the biggest regrets of my life in management is not taking Luis Suarez to Tottenham when we had the chance.
I've done a lot of independent travelling, which hasn't been the best career choice, but it's been a really great life choice.
I've had too lengthy a career and coached too many players to make a choice.
Every decision I've made in my career was just to play, to try and get as much game-time as possible. I can't say I've got too many regrets.
As long as I feel the love of the game and my health is good, I'm going to play. I don't want to be one of these guys who stays too long or regrets leaving early. Football has been great to me.
Each day you're presented with a choice. You can either keep your greatness hidden under a pile of fears, regrets, and excuses, or you can let it out. So the best way to begin unlocking inner greatness is to make a conscious choice to live out the rest of today, with the best you.
It was Tottenham at home. I thought: 'Please don't go on about Tottenham, we all know what Tottenham are about. They are nice and tidy but we'll f****** do them.' Alex came in and said: 'Lads, it's only Tottenham.' And that was it! Brilliant!
I've had to work so hard in my career to get to this point, from leaving City and going to the Championship to work my way back up. I believed I could do it, and I'm grateful to Burnley and Tottenham for letting me do it in the Premier League.
I don't do regrets. Regrets are pointless. It's too late for regrets. You've already done it, haven't you? You've lived your life. No point wishing you could change it.
After Leaving Las Vegas I did assume that things would get a lot easier than they've been. But it's just been a mirror of the way my career's been from the beginning, so for it to have changed would have been strange. My career has never been perfect.
The way I played, Tottenham was the best phase of my career. It's always a warm feeling when I think back.
Later in life there should not be any regrets. Sometimes you have children too early and regret it, 'If I wouldn't have, my career would have been different' and sometimes when you don't have, you miss that opportunity.
If I regret leaving City, I'd regret leaving Madrid, I would regret Arsenal, and I would regret maybe even Metz, where I started off. So I have no regrets in life; life is too short to start regretting things.
With every decision you make in your life, you're going to have some regrets about the way it goes. You just have to chose which set of regrets you can live with the best, and try to minimize the amount of regrets you have.
My career is not well thought out. Every choice has been instinctive and, quite literally, impulsive in many ways.
