Footballers wives are like leeches, feeding off their partners success. I don't want to be a footballer's wife.

Jamelia

With popular rulers, the wife can become the guardian of their greatness: Peter the Great was succeeded by his wife, Catherine I. Sometimes the wives are an improvement.

Simon Sebag Montefiore

A great pianist doesn't run around the piano or do push ups with his fingers. To be great, he plays the piano. ...being a footballer is not about running, push-ups or physical work generally. The best way to be a great footballer is to play.

Jose Mourinho

Footballers are slaves. I know this from the personal experience of being a footballer.

Sepp Blatter

'Primeval' is very similar to 'Footballers' Wives' - it's pure fantasy.

Laila Rouass

The make-up on 'Footballers' Wives' is unbelievable - there's loads of fake tan.

Laila Rouass

I did 'Footballer's Wives' for two-and-a-half seasons and I asked to be written out.

Sometimes, you get portrayed the way you don't want to be portrayed.

Gina Carano

One of the things that concerned me was the way the system operated: the wife who went out to work got a full personal allowance, but the wife who was working at home got nothing. This was particularly hard on wives who gave up work for a time to bring up children.

Nigel Lawson

When I was a footballer, I surrounded myself with footballers. We were all friends. But in Brasilia you don't know who your friends are. It can be a dangerous place.

Pele

A few years ago one of my wives, when talking about wives leaving their husbands said, 'I wish my husband's wives would leave him, every soul of them except myself.' That is the way they all feel, more or less, at times, both old and young.

Brigham Young

I am a historian. With the exception of being a wife and mother, it is who I am. And there is nothing I take more seriously.

Doris Kearns Goodwin

I take compliments and I take constructive criticism. Not everyone loves you. It's the way you react as a footballer. I use it all to make me play better.

Timothy F. Cahill

I wish I had a wife who could manage things for me. Men are blessed that way. They have wives to look after their home.

Kirron Kher

I got to work with my wife, Lena Olin, for the first time, which was great. I thought it might be difficult in some way to talk to one's wife in a different way but it was so not forced.

Lasse Hallstrom

The footballers' wives I know, they're teachers, midwives. They want to do something useful. One is working at my son's nursery, on her hands and knees, in Converse and jeans, teaching kids to count.
