A Quote by Kyle Walker

My dad was a steelworker but I had the opportunity to become a player. A very average player but a player all the same. But I worked my socks off to make something of myself.

Tony Pulis

With all the media attention, all the love from the fans, I felt I needed to prove myself. Prove that I'm not a marketing tool, I'm not a ploy to improve attendance. Prove I can play in this league. But I've surrendered that to God. I'm not in a battle with what everybody else thinks anymore.

Jeremy Lin

Wenger is a top manager, he has shown that unbelievably. The thing I like is this manager can make an average player one of the best players in the world.

Kolo Toure

I'm going to prove to the fans, going to prove to my teammates, that I can be a better defensive player, offensive player, to win games.

Pablo Sandoval

I just have to prove to myself, I don't have to prove to fans.

Andruw Jones

My dad was always my manager as far as I was concerned, even when I had another manager. At times he let me go with someone else who he thought could take me to another level when he couldn't, and he was right. But they were in it for another reason. He was in it because he wanted to see me succeed no matter what, and he made decisions based on being a dad as opposed to a manager.

Tanya Tucker

I'm a huge romantic but I've been unlucky in love. My mum and dad have been together since my mum was 18 and the problem with that is that me and my sister are always looking for my dad. And he doesn't exist because, well, Dad's Dad!

Kym Marsh

I've always said when I broke in I was an average player. I had an average arm, average speed and definitely an average bat. I am still average in all of those.

Brooks Robinson

I just want to prove to myself and to the fans that I deserve to be in the UFC.

Glover Teixeira

I am an average player, but even the great players don't have an average of 42, with a strike-rate of 75.

Misbah-ul-Haq

I did go to TNA when I left WWE briefly in 2005 for three years. When I went there, it was solely to prove to myself, even if it was on a smaller platform that I could carry main event matches, programmes, and promos and be the face of a show. I needed to do that. I needed to gain that confidence and go back and be able to do it.

Christian Cage

I always had the belief in my ability. I just needed something to prove it to myself.

Steve Smith

I was so anxious for it to be my turn, for the manager to read the letter from my mum. I waited and waited for it. The manager had spoken to the mothers of every player in the team; he'd been reading a message before every game for months, and finally my turn had come.

Philippe Coutinho

I wanted to be something and prove to girls in high school, and to my mum and dad, that I could be really... spectacular.

Charlotte McKinney

When I come home, I'm not a basketball player, but "dad". While everyone sees me as an NBA player, to my boys, I'm just "dad" and that's very important.
