I've always liked taking the ball out of defence and I will carry on doing that but at the end of the day I'm a defender, and that's what I want to be known as - a defender, getting in the blocks and the headers that people don't recognise I do, the dirty stuff that every defender should do and should be good at.

John Stones

Not many know this, but in training sessions, I like to play in the center-back position sometimes. I think I'm good at that position, and my father used to be a central defender. Some people don't realize that if you play in that position, you can better understand how the defender thinks.

Dimitar Berbatov

They say you better listen to the voice of reason But they don't give you any choice 'cause they think that it's treason. So you had better do as you are told. You better listen to the radio.

Elvis Costello

I can be a better defender. It's one of those things where I like to always find something wrong so I can get better.

Jordan Clarkson

I was really good, I had a coach who said to me, 'If you want to be a top player, you will need to play as a central defender. If you want to be a good player, you will be a midfielder.' I think he was wrong but, maybe as a central defender, I could be much better, I don't know!

Bruno Fernandes

The Queen of England is Defender of the Faith but the President of the United States is Defender of the Constitution, which defends all faiths.

Walter F. Mondale

I'm a defender first and foremost, and if I'm playing right centre-half, I am even more of a defender than the wing-backs.

Kyle Walker

It could be the best defender or the worst defender. I have to have the attitude that I don't think anyone is going to deter me from getting to the basket. Maybe help defense can come over and affect it, but not the first guy.

Brandon Ingram

It is better to make a piece of music than to perform one, better to perform one than to listen to one, better to listen to one than to misuse it as a means of distraction, entertainment, or acquisition of 'culture.'

John Cage

I know, personally, people said a lot about what kind of defender I was. So I wanted to get better at it.

Damian Lillard

It's a tough situation as a defender to be put in. I understand what they're doing trying to protect quarterbacks. I've been on the receiving end of a few of those where you appreciate them trying to take care of you a little bit, but I do see the conflict that it puts a defender in.

Ryan Tannehill

I am on the whole a defender of the current, despite being a conservative. I mean, I think things are better than when I was younger.

William Kristol

If a defender hits you and you stay down he might think he's got the better of you, so to get up and keep going is important.

Daniel James

Do I want to be the best defender in Europe? Of course. Any defender will tell you that - who wouldn't want to be the best?

Aymeric Laporte

In football, when I break the line of scrimmage, I see a player in front of me, a defender, and already in my head I'm thinking, 'I'm going to make him miss.' So I'm already looking at the next defender like, 'OK, how can I set this guy up to get him out of position, too?'
