I don't feed off of the boos, I don't feed off anything like that... No one likes to get booed, no one likes to get cussed out, no one likes to get yelled at by 20,000 fans when you go places.
In 2014, my first year as an England player, I got booed by some India fans at Edgbaston every time the ball went near me.
I will be completely honest: when I fought in Manchester, they were very cruel to me. One fan actually spat directly in my face, and he was lucky enough where it hit my mouth.
When you're being stalked by an angry mob with raspberries, the first thing to do is to release a tiger.
Fenway Park is a fun place to pitch in. You've got 38,000 fans all cheering against you. It's an intense atmosphere.
Definitely, as an Indian, I'm seen as an outsider, and definitely, the jeers come from that. But I enjoy it; I even encourage it. Whatever noise they make when I'm in the ring, it motivates me, drives me to do better.
There was never any animosity from the Philly fans.
I've performed in basements and at supermarkets. The crowd would be yelling and throwing things at you.
If you guys are going to be throwing beer bottles at us, at least make sure they're full.
The places we'd play were full of bikers, brawlers, and drinkers coming off a day of work looking for a good time, and all these guys would be looking at me like Hannibal Lecter looking at his next victim.
Any time I see Kansas City on the schedule, especially when it's an away game, you start to think about the experience of playing in Arrowhead and how difficult it is to come in and play with the noise and how great those fans are.
I don't want my fans to shout any insults at my opponent.
I have sometimes played my best Davis Cup matches away from home when you stay in the moment a bit more. But it is tough when half the crowd are spitting on you.
San Siro is a tricky stadium. If you have the right personality, it helps you. But if you don't have the right personality, it can be very hard to play in San Siro.
Baton Rouge happens to be the worst place in the world for a visiting team. It's like being inside a drum.
It's kinda great to see the Celtics doin well again cuz that was so much fun in my day to go to the Boston Garden and they spit at you and throw things at you and talk about your mom. It sounds like dinner at Kenny Smith's house.
I could hear from the crowd some monkey noises, and this went on for about 25 minutes. Every time I touched the ball, I could hear the crowd. I said to myself, 'In this kind of environment, in this situation, I don't want to play football anymore.'
The atmosphere generated by the fans in Celtic's stadium for our visit was the most impressive I've ever witnessed. The grounds of Liverpool and Manchester United are good and the hostile feeling of playing against Real Madrid in the Bernabeu is also excellent, but the atmosphere against Celtic was the best.
It was one of the few places where someone remembered his name. Yeah, okay, so he felt like Sam Malone on Cheers, but there was no Norm or Cliff sitting at the bar here. More like Spike and Switchblade.’ (Wulf)
It's not an easy game at Goodison Park - it's always difficult there.
Nice to see your home fans boo you. That's what loyal support is.
For me, Goodison is the toughest away ground to come to. I have experienced it.
New Jersey fans are the most ruthless fans in the country for booing and hating on whatever's in the ring if they don't like it.
The fans at Quicken Loans Arena are pretty hostile. They say nasty things.
I knew there were going to be boos if the Knicks drafted me. That's how New York fans are.
