"I have been in this life for 45 years. This man - what’s his name, the number 10, the small one who doesn’t play in the Real Madrid first team - said that if Poland beat Azerbaijan 8-0, England should score at least eight goals and he’d score five of them.
"But he must respect everyone. Who is Michael Owen anyway? What has he ever won in football? He plays for Real Madrid but is always on the bench. It is not right for him to say that he can score five goals against Azerbaijan. Where are those five goals tonight?
"He didn’t score one. Sven-Goran Eriksson is a good man, he should teach him to respect everyone. Who is he anyway? Who is he? I have a history in football but what is the history of this guy? He ought to clean his tongue.
"I don’t accept this, he is not a man. I would say this to his face if he was here. I hope he is back on the bench when Real Madrid play this weekend. This man, this midget, I refuse to talk about him any more. I will talk about Beckham, Rooney, Ferdinand or Lampard, but not this midget. This midget ought to clean the boots of Beckham as they are so wet tonight."
