A Quote by Diego Forlan

I've played as a lone striker and enjoyed it, especially if you have good supporting players around you. But a full season by myself? That would be hard.

The role that I play as a lone striker, I enjoy it and particularly playing with great players.

Jermain Defoe

In this system, I've always played in the position behind the striker. I also don't enjoy being classed as a striker - I don't see myself as one.

Thomas Muller

My second year in Rome was very good. Back then, a striker was a striker. Strikers scored goals; they didn't defend. Today this is normal, but it wasn't at that time. If you wanted to play my style of football you couldn't have old players or famous players who were unwilling to do the job both ways: attacking and also defending.

Sven-Goran Eriksson

You need two or three players who can do that - play behind the striker, on the right wing, the left wing... striker, maybe. If we have those, it's good for the team.

Roberto Mancini

Best players I played with? Striker wise, well, I had a great record with Emile Heskey - he would be one of my favourite partnerships because we were so different and worked together so well.

Michael Owen

I did rough hustling, what they call 'playing against the wall.' I just played myself with the players, so I would pay; I would make them shill. I would pay certain players and then take from others.

Harry Anderson

I've definitely enjoyed myself more on the projects where I've played a good person, rather than on the projects where I've played somebody who is morally compromised.

Domhnall Gleeson

I think when you've played in a league for as long as I have, it would be foolish for a coach not to ask a player with that kind of knowledge about other players. A lot of this goes beyond the court. Are they a good teammate? Are they good in the locker room? What's their attitude like? Do they work hard?

Sue Bird

As great as Sadio Mane is, John Barnes is one of the best players I have ever played with - and I've played with a lot of good players at Liverpool.

Steve Nicol

Brazil always had a lot of good players, but I always enjoyed watching Kaka and Ronaldinho. They played in more or less my position.

Andreas Pereira

I never really got taught to be a striker in the first place and then I never got taught how to be a lone striker.

Rickie Lambert

OK - we like to say how a striker creates space and influences matches in other ways, but let's not pretend: at the end of the season, the best striker everyone talks about is the top scorer.

Alvaro Morata

The fact I've played well means that on a personal level I have enjoyed the season.

Steven Gerrard

I told Cruyff I'd have given my little finger to have played for his team, but not just to play at Barcelona but for how they played, because I saw how the players enjoyed themselves.
