Pele has all the qualities and characteristic that a football player has to have.
I was a good football player, and I had a chance to play with some great players.
Being tall isn't what makes you a good footballer, and I don't think that's the defining factor in English football at all.
The thing about kicking is, it's not as competitive as other positions, but I feel like I am a competitor.
My best teammate was Roberto Carlos.
I admire Cristiano's ambition and his goal-scoring touch.
You have to be able to make plays.
I know what I do, I know I can play football, and I know I can talk about it.
I was not a very good football player when I started out.
I like to win, I like to compete and I like to sack the quarterback. I imagine there's a team out there looking for that.
Football is such a great game, but football players are so dull.
I was a rugby player, I was a hockey player. You know, I just love to challenge myself, and I love to compete.
In my day, I wasn't the best footballer, but I was the best goalscorer for two or three years.
Lets be honest: I'm an athlete, not an entertainer as much. So as an athlete, I am a guy who likes the physical confrontation of the football field. I like playing nose-guard; I like having two 350 pound guys trying to rip my head off.
I believe my strengths are my pace and reading of the game.
I've always prided myself on being a football player.
I'm a footballer first and foremost and I want to be remembered for what I do on the pitch.
I think I have the ability to be athletic on both ends of the floor, so I just need to go out there and play with a lot of energy, a lot of enthusiasm.
I knew I was going to be a football player; I just didn't know how. It was the only thing I was doing, the only thing that I knew. Always training, training, training, training.
Personally, I always think that players like Diego Forlan are fantastic.
Mesut is a great player and he also works hard off the ball.
Big Ben, he's a great quarterback.
I'm a football player playing basketball.
In 10th grade, I started playing defense. Mainly because we already had a great tailback. Once I started playing it, it just started growing on me. I liked it a lot.
In baseball, it doesn't matter if you're tall, skinny, fat, whatever. If you really have talent and you really love to play, I feel like you can make it.
Negredo is an exceptional player.
