Peter Drucker

The key is to make sure you are doing the "right things" before you worry about doing things "right".

Bill Capodagli

Eating the right things and doing the right things off the field are important. You see players like Ryan Giggs and Gareth Barry. If you look after yourself, you have a chance of playing a long time.

James Milner
