I always wanted to be a Sixer... I always wanted to finish my career as a Sixer.
When I started wrestling, I never wanted to go to WWE. It was the Japanese life for me.
Ever since I started playing football, I've always taken the number 10 shirt.
I played guard my whole life, and liked having the ball in my hands.
I was fortunate to play with so many wonderful footballers and under the greatest manager of all time, but I do believe that a club's ethos, the principles of how it plays, should outlive even the biggest individuals in its history.
I don't call myself a women's footballer; I say I'm a footballer.
I've met lots of footballers like Alan Shearer, David Beckham, and Steven Gerrard. I don't really get starstruck because I just think they're another footballer like me; they just get paid a lot more.
Like an author, a cricketer signs his name on every innings he bats or bowls in; indeed for every cricket ball that challenges him on the field.
It's kind of interesting on a team sport because you have young players, you have older players, you have veterans. But ultimately, when you step in between those lines, you're just a player.

West Indian people had made their greatest single cultural investment in cricket.
At the moment there are some England players who are the stars of their club teams, but not for their country. It's difficult to explain.
The romance of English football is fantastic, but it has lost its identity under the influence of other cultures.
It's something I've always wanted - to be known as an Australian. When I was younger I was always referred to as an Aboriginal tennis player. Now I think the award means that I have been recognised as an entertainer and that makes me happy... It's given me probably as big a kick as winning Wimbledon.
