I thought to myself 'what can I do to join in the fun'...so I thought about it for a while and came up with the comb-over'.<br /> It was only meant to be for a laugh...but then I noticed that during corners and free kicks, whoever was marking me spent more time watching the comb-over than watching the ball. If they were marking Georgie Best you could see the fear in their eyes but if they were marking me, you could see the tears in their eyes.<br /> Why do you think I was able to score so many goals from midfield?<br /> Take a look at a DVD of our 1966 World Cup win.....I am striding forward from the back but there's nothing on. I see Hursty making a run but he's marked tight...then Uwe Seller comes out to tackle me but for a split second takes his eye off the ball and I thread a pass through for Geoff to slot in his second goal.<br /> Seller had checked his stride to giggle at the comb-over, only fractionally but it was enough.<br /> After that we were home and dry.<br /> Just like me two minutes after taking a shower.' </p>
