I'm in such a privileged position to class football as my full-time job, to be captain of England, captain of Manchester City. I'm very lucky.

Steph Houghton

When you are no longer England captain, you suddenly realise it's over, you are no longer England captain, and you appreciate what you had.

Nasser Hussain

I still have ambition to captain England into the 2011 World Cup. I'm very keen to do that job.

Andrew Strauss

I was captain in Atletico at 19, playing in the same team as Demetrio Albertini, who won three Champions Leagues, and Sergi Barjuan from Barcelona, who had won everything, and they were 32, 33. I was a kid as captain, so I wasn't the real captain, just a kid learning from them.

Fernando Torres

Getting the opportunity to captain England is a huge honour - even if it's only the once you can still say 'yeah, I've captained England.'

Ben Stokes

My dream was always to play for England, having grown up in the U.K . Playing India as part of my first test match was a coincidence, and it was never an issue. My job was to do a good job for England!

Isa Guha

Throughout my entire life, I've always been a captain. I was the captain of my high school team. I was the captain at Oklahoma State University. I was the captain of the 2008 Olympic team.

Daniel Cormier

An Australian prime minister once said that his job was the second most important job in the country - behind being captain of the cricket team. It's not a job you take on lightly.

Glenn McGrath

I've definitely grown into the job after that difficult first Test against Pakistan. I'd been captain for the Sri Lanka one-dayers, which hadn't gone well, and all the talk was that I only had that one Test as captain.

Andrew Strauss

I haven't stuck my head out to be captain of England.

Nasser Hussain

The execution of strategy is over to the captain and coach, as it always has been. It's the right way to go. We need clear role allocations, the coach and the captain go and execute and my job is to plan for the future.

Andrew Strauss

There is no other job in major sport like a cricket captain. It is a huge job.
