I was a fan of Henk Groot, former striker of Ajax, who scored many goals with his head. I thought, 'I can do that also,' but I couldn't.

I can’t think of a striker in the world who has scored so many important goals, never mind a midfielder.

Thierry Henry

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

I miss scoring lots of goals, but I have always thought that a striker should not be judged just by the amount of goals he scores. The work he does for the team is also important.

Bojan Krkic

Cavani has been a historical figure for PSG. He's scored so many goals. He's a winner; he's a leader. He's very much respected in France as a player but also as a man because of his values.

Hugo Lloris

When my father played in the local team, I always used to go with him to watch him. He played as a striker. He was very good; he used to score a lot of goals. Once, he scored seven goals in one game.

Richarlison

I have scored many goals with my head, ever since my time with River Plate in Argentina and then after at Porto and Atletico Madrid.

Radamel Falcao

I would like Ajax to be people's favourite second team. Like in Spain, if you are a Real Madrid fan, then you can't be a Barcelona supporter. It's the same in Italy. But you can be an Ajax fan.

Edwin van der Sar

Tevez is an extraordinary striker. Not only does he score goals, but he also helps his teammates and the midfield, too.

Massimiliano Allegri

I'm a very technical player, a striker who moves around the field a lot. I'm technical, I score lots of goals, and I like to score as many goals as possible. They are my best qualities. I also header the ball very well.

Radamel Falcao

When I used to watch Ronaldinho his dribbling skills and the way he played I am really a fan of that. Kaka he was very fast, he scored goals and them both are the players I look up to.

Andreas Pereira

I've always been a big Ajax fan. It is not very strange - my whole family supports Ajax.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar

During my time at Juve, I didn't score more than 20 goals a year, but I won every title except the Champions League. I've scored 15 or 16 goals, and I've lifted titles, and other strikers have scored 35 and haven't won anything.

Alvaro Morata

I always wanted to score goals, but sometimes I've scored and been terrible and other times I felt I played well and didn't score. I looked at the statsheet the season where I scored 27 goals and I had one assist and was frustrated.

Bradley Wright-Phillips

Like I've said many times before, I'm always more likely to remember goals for their importance rather than if they're beautiful or not. Goals scored in finals, for example.

Lionel Messi

You can Google how many goals a player has scored in the last few seasons, or against this particular side, but our job is to point the viewers to something that is happening in the game that they may not have seen or thought of.
