What can you do, playing against eleven goalposts? (after 0-0 draw at Anfield)
It's to remind our lads who they're playing for, and to remind the opposition who they're playing against. (on the 'This Anfield' plaque)
Cricket is the only game where you are playing against eleven of the other side and ten of your own.
Eleven against eleven they never beat us.
When kids my age were crying over girls, my first heartbreak was not because of some silly school time crush but because I lost out on playing for Delhi's Under 14 team, even after I was selected in the playing eleven.
I did not have a lot of spare time after I was about eleven because in my youth, young people used to try to find ways of making money after school. From about age eleven on, I either shined shoes or did something such.
I loved playing in England. But after a few years, I didn't find it challenging enough. I wouldn't say I was bored, but it was becoming too repetitive - playing with and against the same players year after year.
When I was younger I would play in front of crowds as small as 500 in the second division in Belgium, so I know what that's like. It might be easier in terms of pressure, but believe me, I would always prefer to be at a packed Anfield playing against Manchester United. That's why you want to become a footballer.
I think, a lot of teams, when they come to Anfield and they play a draw, they think it is a good result.
Playing for Liverpool at Anfield is a very joyous and positive experience.
In my playing career, Anfield was the only ground where I had a feeling of being stuck.
Peak hours for sending a first email through the online dating system tended to be during work (eleven A.M. to four P.M.) and then just after dinner (seven P.M. to nine P.M.). I did have a few women send me a first message after eleven P.M. Those who did had an 82 percent chance of coming from a profile that had too many words.
Liverpool is a great club and I always enjoyed playing at Anfield because the fans are so passionate.
It's hard to find happiness after success if the goalposts of success keep changing.
When it comes to football, I think it's vital you always enjoy playing, and when I arrived at Anfield, I was determined to do just that, whatever anyone else said.
Eleven times Jesus died on the cross, Eleven times falls down a body thrown upward, Eleven times also I abandon the logical flow of thought.
I love playing Eleven.
