The World Motivation
I work on 'A Question of Sport' which comes out of Manchester and you see how it's important to take parts of the BBC to other parts of the nation.

I wouldn't have wanted to be in any other era. Chrissie Evert, Martina Navratilova, Virginia Wade, Evonne Goolagong and Margaret Court were fabulous people, and I made great friends along the way.
I never dreamed when I was competing at The Championships that I would one day be interviewing the winners on Centre Court for the BBC.
The more publicity the better.
You want to do it on your own terms - not to be forced out because your body breaks down. I had to quit because of injury and I was crying for weeks. I used to wake up in the morning and think 'what am I getting up for now?'
The fans have always shown so much faith in my ability, and I feel so much love, both from supporters inside Manchester and from those all over the world.
I feel I let everyone British sport, British boxing, my community, my home town of Manchester, my family my kids, I feel I've let everyone down with the troubles I've been in.
I have good memories of Manchester United.
The Manchester move was OK. I was still in England and I knew I could go back home.
I was champion for Monaco and had planned a five-day vacation with my friends in Palma de Mallorca. On the second day, I get a phone call from Jorge Mendes with the news of the Manchester City proposal.
