If I ever score against Spurs, I won't celebrate. Even if it's the best goal in the world, I'll keep it subdued. It's a respect thing. The fans were brilliant towards me; I'll be playing against my friends and I can't forget that.

Jermain Defoe

My best years were 2010 and 2011, and the 2010 World Cup was the most incredible experience. Our tiny nation reached the semi-finals, I finished joint-top scorer in South Africa, and my goal against Germany was voted the best of the tournament. I was also named the best player of that World Cup.

Diego Forlan

What really excited me at the end was the challenge of being the best I can be and prolonging my best level and playing against the best players in the world. But now that I don't have the opportunity to play against the best players in the world when it counts, in front of fans, it doesn't excite me as much.

Steve Nash

I scored eight goals in 12 games against Spurs. I'm proud of this achievement because I know this rivalry is very important for the Arsenal fans - when you score eight times against Spurs you are an idol for them. And I know the Spurs fans hate me. I know this and it is a good sensation.

Robert Pires

I always wanted to be one of the best players in the world like Zinedine Zidane, so it was great that I ended up playing at West Ham against some of the best players in the world.

Mark Noble

Something I got from one of the England coaches was that if you want to be in the No. 1 team in the world, you have to show that you're one of the best in the world.

Saqib Mahmood

This is the pinnacle of the basketball world, you know, in the NBA you're playing against the best guys in the world, and best defensive players in the world, so you have to be able to outthink them and make the right decisions.

Mike Conley Jr.

When I left Spurs I was one of the best defenders in the world and had done so much for such a long time with ultimately little reward. I practically kept the club up on my own for two years.

Sol Campbell

All I think about is playing at the highest level and in the top competitions so I can measure myself against the best in the world.

Jack Wilshere

The UFC is where the best in the world fight at. You got some of the best fighters all across the world. It's the top organization.

Derek Brunson

Obviously Messi is one of the best players in the world, if not the best player in the world. Looking up to him when you're young and now playing against him, it was very nerve-racking for me - especially when he would come up on my side, my heart would be beating faster and faster.

Alphonso Davies

One of the things that makes the best teams in the world the best is the fact that, across midfield and up top, they are capable of hurting you.

Edinson Cavani

For me, United is the biggest club in the world. We have everything. We have the best coaches, the best players, the best fans and we're known everywhere.

Andreas Pereira

I'm not the world's best philosopher. But I am one of the world's best strategists. I will put my strategic abilities against anybody on Earth.

Nick Hanauer

For the players, these top, top, top games or these top, top, top events - like a World Cup or a European Championship - are not common but, of course, something special.
