'Strictly' is a bit like scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup Final or sinking the final putt in the Ryder Cup - only a few people get the opportunity to do it, and they have got to be famous.

Anton du Beke

Jose Mourinho has experience of Premier League football and winning the title. He's a European Cup-winning manager so he knows what it is all about.

Mike Phelan

I'd never won the Stanley Cup so I asked Cournoyer right after the final if this was like winning the Cup. He said, 'This is ten times better.' I believed him.

Dennis Hull

I didn't sleep with the European Cup but it was in my room! It was just special and I just had to have the cup with me, lifting the cup as Liverpool captain was just the best moment of my life.

Steven Gerrard

You know I was a ball boy at the Italy v. Argentina semi-final in Naples in 1990 and playing in a World Cup final is something every child dreams about.

Fabio Cannavaro

My dad got sent off for punching Roberto Mancini in the face. It was in the European Cup-Winners' Cup quarter-final in 1991, and if you look on YouTube, you will have confirmation. It's a very clear punch. He just went straight through him. I can't wait to play against Mancini now. Maybe he will remember.

Wojciech Szczesny

Pressure is working down the pit. Pressure is having no work at all. Pressure is trying to escape relegation on 50 shillings a week. Pressure is not the European Cup or the Championship or the Cup Final. That's the reward.

Bill Shankly

I was lucky enough that my parents knew about World Cup skiing, so since I was really little, we were watching World Cup winning runs.

Mikaela Shiffrin

I wanted to score the winning goal in the 90th minute of the World Cup final.

Roberto Baggio

A final is a final, a trophy is a trophy, a cup is a cup. Whatever cup you play, you want to win it, especially when you are a player.

Samir Nasri

I have many good 'souvenirs.' I remember when I was 19 and we beat Madrid 5-3 and I won my first European Cup. Also, in 1965, when I won the Golden Ball for the best player in Europe.

Eusebio

When you make your final list for the World Cup or European Championship you don't take the 23 best players, that is for sure.

Didier Deschamps

I knew off by heart the names of the Real Madrid team that played Liverpool in the European Cup final of 1981.

Rafael Benitez

To score in the World Cup final is not a small story, of course. Every footballer dreams of it: first to become a world champion and then, even better, to score in the final. This happened to me, and I'm glad.

Mario Gotze

When your team does well and you're winning then everyone has success from that. You see that with all Cup-winning teams. Those guys end up having long careers.
