I just loved kicking a ball but I was determined to be a footballer and I wanted a professional contract, I would go to any professional club to get one. From 15, all I wanted was to be a footballer.

Demba Ba

Sometimes when you are a professional footballer, you have to deal with tough decisions.

Adam Lallana

Dagenham offered me a two-year opportunity really. It wasn't a pro deal, just a chance to impress. I was sent out on loan straight away. I got a professional contract on the back of that and it wasn't until I started scoring in League Two that I actually realized, 'I'm professional footballer.'

Dwight Gayle

I knew there were certain relationships that existed between referees and players, referees and coaches and referees and owners that influence the point spreads in games.

Tim Donaghy

I'm a professional footballer, and I get paid for doing my job.

Steph Houghton

I believe it's our responsibility as citizens to get in there and not accept the constant failure of prisons to deal with racism, lack of privilege, and impoverishment - not accept any of that. Just get in there!

Jimmy Santiago Baca

Not all things always go your way and you have to accept that. That's what you are going to get as a footballer.

Simon Mignolet

I've been booed in Holland and in Uruguay - as a professional footballer, you need to have thick skin and just get used to it.

Luis Suarez

That's a lonely place when you think that nobody wants to work with you, but in reality, what it is is they're just wanting to see you get good enough to get a publishing deal or to be a professional songwriter.

Ryan Hurd

Well I can tell you that for me generally speaking that I think things that I deal with are all to do with not accepting things, not excepting life on life's terms. My life becomes a lot easier when I'm willing to just accept. I don't have to like circumstances as they are, but I have to accept them and that's where I always seem to get thrown, when I try to will my way instead of accept things the way they are.

Matt Dillon

I do think there is a responsibility for myself as being a senior professional footballer to be able to pass on my experiences to the younger generation.

Adebayo Akinfenwa

I've always dreamt of being a footballer. You only get one shot at a career like this, and I want to be the best professional I can. Anything I can do that means I can get the best out of my ability is what I'll try and do.
