A Quote by Ian Rush

It's best being a striker. If you miss five then score the winner, you're a hero. The goalkeeper can play a blinder, then let one in… and he's a villain.

The thing I expect from myself, when I play, is to score, in every game. If I don't, then it happens. But when you start a game, if you are a striker, you need to score.

Demba Ba

I don't pick tournaments to score or rivals or other teams to score against. I'm a striker: every game I play, I want to score.

Diego Costa

When you're 1-1 against Manchester United and you're trying to get the winner with five minutes to play, the fans play their part then and give you that little bit of adrenaline.

Steve Bruce

Maybe other managers would see their team score one goal and then prefer to go back and counter-attack, then try to score the second goal. A lot of those managers are the best managers at the moment, but for me, it's very important to continue the way I play.

Manuel Pellegrini

Since most heroes are doing villainous roles these days, that thrill is lost. Earlier, there used to be a hero, a heroine, a villain and such. The villain's entry would generate a lot of curiosity among the audience back then.

Ranjeet

You score goals as a kid. Then you grow up stupid and become a goalkeeper.

Gianluigi Buffon

A striker can miss three or four chances and still score the fifth.

Ederson

Being an entertainer, I want to play the role both of a villain and a hero.

Diljit Dosanjh

When you are a hero you are always running to save someone, sweating, worried and guilty. When you are a villain you are just lurking in the shadows waiting for the hero to pass by. Then you pop them in the head and go home... piece of cake.

James Marsters

If great content is the hero, then banners are the villain.

Michael Brenner

I'm a striker: I want to score in every game, work very hard, and then we'll see what happens on the field.

Krzysztof Piatek

I'm sure that there must have been times when you have read books or watched films and found yourself secretly wishing for the villain to win. Why? Isn't that against the rules by which our society lives? Why should you feel this way? It's simple, really; the villain is the true hero of these tales, not the well-intentioned moron who somehow foils their diabolical scheme. The villain get's all the best lines, has the best costumes, has unlimited power and wealth- why on earth would anyone not want to be the villain?

Mark Walden

Muller is a winner for Germany and expects to score big goals in big games, especially with his late runs from behind the striker.

Lothar Matthaus

Everybody has a hero and a villain within themselves. So it depends upon you to be a hero or a villain. If you show humanity, it will give you satisfaction.

Nana Patekar

I know I have missed some chances, but that's part of being a striker, and I know it's part of being a striker that when you don't score, people talk about it.
