It's so easy for a cheap newspaper to make up stories. You will notice that these allegations are never founded. That's an interesting thing. If the allegations are founded and the players found guilty, then you discipline them. Allegations happen every day. Especially now - you see people being charged with wearing boxer shorts, or for scratching their bums or something.

There are not many players who can say they have been trained by someone like me. I played the game at the highest level. I was a chairman at Barry Town and now I've managed at an amateur level.

"Make sure you're fit. Make sure you're disciplined. And, if you don't like rice, don't bother going." - his advice to future contestants on I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.
