I will never reject an autograph, hug or photo. I was also a fan of football.
I still remember when my teacher told me that football wouldn't give me anything to eat
Don't date the captain of the football team; be the captain of the football team.
If it is the case that you need just a first 11 and three or four more players, then why did Christopher Columbus sail to India to discover America?
The positions I played, every play, I was making contact, not like that Deion Sanders. He couldn't tackle my wife. He's back there dancing out there instead of hitting.
There's a special part of Messi's brain allowing him to see the split-second chaos of football in his own personal super slow motion.
Football is easy, it's not success. To me success is being a world changer. Football is my platform but not my purpose.
I never graduated from Iowa, but I was only there for two terms - Truman's and Eisenhower's.
Celtic, like Barcelona, are more than a football club. Our clubs are a symbol of a culture and community that has not always been made welcome in their respective countries.
There are many ways to grow football-wise. You go slow or are pushed to go faster, otherwise you get left behind. For me, there would be trouble in stopping learning.
If you're not frustrated that you're not playing football then you shouldn't be playing football
I said to them last week that I'd like them to win ugly and they certainly won ugly today. That was the ugliest thing I've seen since the ugly sisters fell out of the ugly tree.
This is a dirty business, that is why I go out and play with my heart. I feel like football players are overworked and underpaid compared to any other sports. This is like a nine to five. No guaranteed contracts, and that is the worst thing about it.
This does not --ing slip now.
But I can tell you this: Nothing will happen up there that can duplicate my life down here. That life cannot be better than the one I've lived down here, the football life. It's been perfect.
It was Tottenham at home. I thought: 'Please don't go on about Tottenham, we all know what Tottenham are about. They are nice and tidy but we'll f****** do them.' Alex came in and said: 'Lads, it's only Tottenham.' And that was it! Brilliant!
Don't walk through life just playing football. Don't walk through life just being an athlete. Athletics will fade. Character and integrity and really making an impact on someone's life, that's the ultimate vision, that's the ultimate goal - bottom line.
I don't care about my image. I'm already paid. I've already got my money, so why worry about my image?
Being there every week for my teammates is really important to me. It's about accountability. I hear stuff about the 'toughest quarterback in the league' and all that; what's that mean?
When you take a year off from football, you come back for all the enjoyable moments. When you're not playing, you miss out on all the highs, but you also miss these disappointments. But I would rather be in the arena to be excited or be disappointed than not have a chance at all. That's football. That's why everybody plays it.
God bless whoever invented football. It was the English, I think. And what a fantastic idea it was
That's another thing, we made up games. We didn't have equipment. When it snowed, we would play slow motion tackle football. We would play hockey, but we wouldn't skate. We just made things up. I loved doing that.
Giggs drops deep into that Sheringham position where he can turn and ride defenders.
If your man is a sports enthusiast, you may have to resign yourself to his spouting off in a monotone on a prize fight, football game or pennant race.
The spirit is the true self. The spirit, the will to win, and the will to excel are the things that endure.
