My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about 7.
David Beckham

Footballers are going on strike? When can they start?
Ann Burton
Image
Now learning a bit more about footballers I think what they need to do well, is someone who really wants to stay in the background and just be a strong support.
Anna Friel
Image
More than anyone, I am aware of the preconceptions. I was a Spice Girl. I'm married to a footballer.
Victoria Beckham
Image
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.
Vince Lombardi

If you win without sacrifice you enjoy it but it's more satisfying when you have struggled.

There is no excuse for a professional footballer not to be 100% fit.
Jock Stein

Beckham is unusual. He was desperate to be a footballer. His mind was made up when he was nine or ten. Many kids think that it's beyond them. But you can't succeed without practising at any sport.
Bobby Charlton

The lifestyle I lead as a footballer means I am always in the spotlight.
Wayne Rooney

Dave Mackay was the kind of footballer that legends are built around. He was simply the greatest - tough as teak on the pitch and a real gentleman off it.
Alex Salmond

If you're going to be a footballer, be a great one.If you're going to have a dream, dream big.

Lampard, for me, was a marvellous servant for Chelsea, but I didn't think of him as an elite international footballer. And I am one of the few who felt Gerrard was not a top, top player.

For years Paul Scholes has been one of the best players in the Premiership. He's incredible. He has always been under-rated throughout his career. He's a team player, a one and two-touch footballer who makes good decisions on the pitch and makes his team play.
Thierry Henry

If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes.
Alan Shearer

I spend time with my family. I have got two daughters who are too young to know their Dad's a footballer. They just want to play with their Dad. I like to play golf, too, but apart from that, that's me, I'm afraid.
Alan Shearer
Image
I don't know what I'd have become if I hadn't been a footballer I wrote down 'dustbin man' on a careers questionnaire at school till my dad made me change it to 'joiner'.
Alan Shearer
Image
I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well.
Alan Shearer
Image
One accusation you can't throw at me is that I've always done my best.
Alan Shearer
Image
Being thick isn't an affliction if you're a footballer, because your brains need to be in your feet. And Beckham works hard, he's brave and he crosses a ball superbly. He treats a football like he does a wife, lovingly, with caresses.
Brian Clough
Image
In England, footballers are respected more, the game is more noble, there's less cheating. Every Spaniard who goes loves it - and comes back a better player. If I had ever left it would have been to England.
Xavi

I was watching the Blackburn game on TV on Sunday when it flashed on the screen that George (Ndah) had scored in the first minute at Birmingham. My first reaction was to ring him up. Then I remembered he was out there playing.
Ade Akinbiyi

A Kerry footballer with an inferiority complex is one who thinks he's just as good as everybody else.
John B. Keane

I think, just as footballers play better at home, maybe film-makers, too, create better at home, even though the rules of football are the same wherever you go.
Abbas Kiarostami

You rarely come across the complete footballer, but Scholes is as close to it as you can get. One of my regrets is that the opportunity to play alongside him never presented itself during my career.
Zinedine Zidane
