Tottenham legend Ossie Ardiles admits he was at fault for his car crash in the Falkland Islands this week.
Ardiles suffered head injuries in Monday's crash but was out of danger when he spoke to Argentine reporters outside a hospital in San Fernando in his home country on Wednesday.
"When the car started to go (off the road), I thought it was really serious," Ardiles told La Nacion.
"I felt the car going away from me and I pressed on the brake slowly, then from behind they were telling me to accelerate but when I did we went off into the ditch, we rolled over four of five times."
Ardiles was at the wheel of the van with five passengers including friend and former team mate Ricky Villa, who shared in their World Cup victory with Argentina in 1978, and a camera crew.
"It was a human error, it was my mistake," said Ardiles, who was flown out of the Falklands to Argentina on a chartered plane after initially being treated for cuts at the King Edward Memorial Hospital in Stanley, the capital of the Falklands.
"We got out by the back door and all the blood in the vehicle was mine."
