One of the best things if you are a football player is to see the faces of the kids, when they see you and are dreaming of being like you one day. That's a big responsibility, to be a good image for those kids. A football player is more than just a football player.

Feisal Abdul Rauf

I've always liked playing with somebody else and collaborating, just to get out of my own head all the time. Everybody does, but artists especially, we torture ourselves. So it's good for me to immerse myself in somebody else's work.

As a football player, you must have a big ego to respect yourself. So if you are a good player, you must say that you are good. You need to have the confidence.

Georginio Wijnaldum

If you think I'm a loser, that I'm a bust, that's fine, but you don't know me. I don't have a problem with people thinking I was a bad football player. I wasn't a particularly good pro football player. But I was a great college player, and that's something.

The U.S.A. have a 'football arrogance,' which means winning is in their DNA - nothing else is good enough.

Alex Scott
