The Merseyside derby games are unique in the city.
In some circles, the Mint 400 is a far, far better thing than the Superbowl, the Kentucky Derby, and the lower Oakland roller derby finals all rolled into one. This race attracts a very special breed.
It is something very special when you can win a league title, because it is the one that you play all year for.
The Merseyside derby is a terrific game full of passion, full of quality.
A derby is a derby. When you play a derby, it is for winning, not just to play.
I hold the record now with Dixie Dean for being the only Everton player to score three Merseyside derby goals at Anfield. I still hope to better it. Things like that, the fans never forget.
I think everyone knows what it means to play a derby - it doesn't matter which derby it is.
When you play for Barcelona, there is always pressure to win - you play for something special. It's the same when you player for Tottenham; the names are not important.
It's just incredible. When you're French, coming from a non-English language country, you don't even dream about Oscar recognition or nominations. It's just beyond the dream. It's something very, very special and unique. It's the highest recognition any filmmaker could dream of.

I have always loved broadcasting - as a child in Liverpool, I would wake up and listen to Morning Merseyside on BBC Radio Merseyside and wonder, 'How do they do that?'
I think it's something great to win the Champions League with Madrid; it's something special to be at a club that wants to win something, and I hope we can win it again.
I just play to win. I play to be competitive; that's it. I think every player hopes that they do something special that everyone remembers later in life, or whatever. But that's not why we're playing. At least, that's not why I play.
To win the Kentucky Derby is the goal of every trainer, every hot-walker, every backside person. They may be just rubbing on a horse, or hot-walking a horse, but they wonder if they could win the Kentucky Derby.
As a driver, you always dream of winning a F1 race, and to win so early on in my career was very special.
Before I knew I was going to the Derby, I had my shrink on call. It's a special, special moment.
