A Quote by Virgil van Dijk

I was never a standout player until I played for the under-19s and became the captain. Then everything went much better - I played some games for the under-23s and after that it went pretty quickly.

I don't have too much spare time, but I try to play games as much as possible. I played a little growing up, but I never played any tennis games before.

Lleyton Hewitt

I've played games where I thought I played one of my better games, and statistically, there's nothing there, and vice versa. I've never based how I feel about my performance on stats.

John Stockton

All my life I've been that way - ever since I was a kid. It doesn't matter whether we played video games or even before that when we had board games when you played with your sister and mom and dad - I didn't like losing then and didn't want to do anything but win when we played.

Tony Stewart

You play against an opponent so much the numbers got to match at some point! I played against the Raiders six years straight pretty much. I played against them more than any team I've ever played.

Emmanuel Sanders

That was very appreciative because all the players vote for that. That's the highest award anyone can get in the NFL. Every team in the NFL votes for the most valuable player. I was injured. I had appendicitis the first part of the season, but I came back after ten days. Nobody came back that early. No player wants to sit on the bench. No player wants to be inactive. Everybody wants to play.I came back in ten days. I had the uniform on and played. I played those next games until I got kicked in the head.

Lenny Moore

I have played against (Michel) Platini, (Diego) Maradona, (Johan) Cruyff and played with George Best — a lot of big names, but none of them has been able to do what Messi does. Two years ago I said that the best player I played against was Maradona and the best player I have played with was Bestie. But I can now say I have never seen a player as good as Messi. He’s in a league of his own.

John Terry

Honestly, the Carolina games I played in every year were more intense than the national championship games I played in - they had a better environment.

Christian Laettner

I played many times as a player in European competition and I know how it can make a player better to play those kind of games.

Gianfranco Zola

I did takwondo from the time I was pretty young and also played I did taekwondo for martial arts and then also played football, baseball, and basketball against older kids because of my brother being older. I learned pretty quickly to not be intimidated and to not back down.

Robbie Lawler

That was one of the toughest things for me, mentally. I was quite broken. Everything was going great, I played a few games, I was Young Player of the Year and then I was in the reserves again.

Nathan Ake

To say that I wanted to become the captain is entirely incorrect. When Dhoni became captain and I played under him, we won the T20 World Cup.

Virender Sehwag

I played for England Under-16s, 17s, 18s, 19s, 20s and then 21s... then... I just decided to make the decision to play for Nigeria.

Victor Moses

There were situations in my career where I played much better than another player in my position, but that player had a better name in terms of commercial appeal.

Ryan Babel

No one's played on the moon yet. No one's played in zero gravity. Some bands have played at the Pyramids of Giza, but we'd very much like to do that in the near future.
