My dream was to become a footballer, hope to become the best someday. And I worked for it. And I'll tell you that the work is the magic of success.

Samuel Eto'o

My parents showed me the good way. The education I had with them and my dream to become a footballer never let me go off the path.

Lucas Moura

Maybe some people look at me and just see a footballer, or a black footballer. But I am much more than this. I tell my best friends all the time, 'If you look at me as a footballer, and not as Little Kouli, and not as your friend, then I have failed in life.'

Kalidou Koulibaly

I wanted to be the best footballer in Belgian history. That was my goal. Not good. Not great. The best.

Romelu Lukaku

It's why you become a footballer, so you can play against the best in the Champions League.

Joshua Kimmich

I'm a street footballer and you still get street footballers from Africa, South Africa and really poor parts of Europe.

Sol Campbell

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

The teacher would say, 'Not everybody makes it as a footballer, so what do you want to be?' I'd say, 'A footballer.' The teacher would say, 'But not everybody makes it. So what do you want to be?' I'd say, 'A footballer.' Every year that happened! Nothing was going to get in the way of me being a footballer.

Danny Welbeck

I was a street footballer.

Riyad Mahrez

He is a legend and he's going to be remembered for a long time. Just to play alongside him and learn from him has been an absolute pleasure. I think he is a footballer's footballer; he has been at this level for so long. As long as he is part of us we always feel we have a chance. We appreciate the way he goes about his business. I have never met a character like Scholesy, certainly not someone who is that good.

Michael Carrick

Music has become really important now. It's helped me to open up more and take a chance on loving people. Music is a good reason to care. It's just a vehicle though. It's a way to try and give somebody something that you feel. If trying the best I can isn't good enough, I'll just have to try harder next time...it's all I can do. If I do the best I can, then at least I did the best I could in this life The way I like to look at it is....if that's the last time /I ever got to play, I'd better give it everything I've got.

Stevie Ray Vaughan

I've played football with George Best, the greatest footballer that ever lived. That doesn't make me a footballer. And I've sung a duet with Pavarotti. That doesn't make me an opera singer. I can write and I have a story to tell, but I'm not going to make a career out of it.
