A Quote by Sean McVay

I probably don't have any room in my mind for anything but football. My dad tells me I'm a total vegetable outside of just knowing football.

When I was a kid, I just wanted to be outside. I didn't grow up watching football. Didn't ever watch a college game. I watched 'Monday Night Football' because my dad liked it, but we didn't sit around on Sundays. I was outside, playing, training, whatever.

Carson Palmer

He has nothing to do with me and football really. I don't see any need for us to start talking about football. Some players have relationships with their fathers where they talk football and get into arguments about it. It is something we have never done. It is just a natural thing, he is my dad and not my coach.

Kasper Schmeichel

I do have a son. He's out of school now. He never played football. And it had nothing to do with me. I was actually crushed that he didn't play football. I thought, 'Oh my God, this is awful.' My brothers all played football. My dad played football.

Ann McKee

Football came in at an interesting time. My dad passed, and my brother was one year older than me. And so he was basically the man of the house - at like age 12. So I really just started doing whatever he did, and football was his thing, so I got into football.

Nnamdi Asomugha

Mum tries to keep our mind on other things as well as football. But my dad's always football.

Harry Maguire

I was obsessed with my dad, and my dad would refuse to go to church with us on Sundays because football was on. So I thought to myself, how could I spend more time with my dad? I started watching football with him every Sunday, and it was just something I fell in love with.

Charissa Thompson

My dad always played sports. He played football. I always wanted to play football because my dad played football, but my mom never wanted me to play football because she said she couldn't take me getting hit.

DeMar DeRozan

Me and my dad, all we talk about is football. I do realize, for whatever our issues are and whatever repressions there may be, talking about football is how we communicate. He'll call me up and say 'This is what happened at the football.' But what he's also saying is 'I love you.'

Brett Goldstein

I thought I was prepared for England but I was not prepared for things outside football, my private life. I am not very proud that fans could probably name three of my former girlfriends. I don't think it damaged my football results. But my image outside football it damaged, yes.

Sven-Goran Eriksson

We definitely have a football mentality. My dad was a football player also, so just growing up, that's how it was.

Dan Gronkowski

Nelson Mandela is my hero outside of football. I was fortunate enough to meet him a couple of times. He was really clued up on his football and he knew me, so that was just unbelievable. It really stuck with me.

Ryan Giggs

It's football. You play football. You just play injured. That's how it is. A lot of it comes from my dad. He played for Hayden Fry University in the '80s. He used to tell me about the injuries he played with. One time he tore his ACL in Week 6 and then played in the Rose Bowl in Week 12. So, if he could do that, I can do anything.

George Kittle

Looking from the outside at English football, at Spanish football, it's more interesting, and they have the champions and the celebrities that they want to see. But with the passion that Italians have for football, the pride that they have, I don't think the game will stay that way.

Gabriel Batistuta

For me, football always meant that we came together as a family and, in the summer we played football outside.

Claudia Schiffer

Tuchel saved me. I was sick of football. I had sacrificed my whole youth for football and then, bang, overnight, it was all over. I didn't want anything to do with football. But when he asked me to become opposition scout it was a win-win situation for everyone.
