I'm not a political thinker, but I've just always thought of myself as a Labour supporter. I was a great fan of Tony Blair. He sent me a letter before I swam the Channel to wish me luck.
I think every footballer in the world wants to be on the pitch as much as possible.
I have been accused of not taking seriously the FA Cup on Saturday ... I have won four times the FA Cup. Who has won it more? Give me one name.
But, without a doubt, my favourite thing? It's sitting in a change room like this after a match. There's no time frame on how long you'll sit there. There's no formality. You're just enjoying each other's company, thinking about cricket.
We want to compete for every trophy at home and in Europe.
When I was at Watford I was very greedy. I just wanted to show off my skills.
I'm a footballer, that's my job and that's all I want to be known for.
I've been promoted, relegated, won big trophies, gone months without scoring, played for my country at World Cups, been bought, sold, loaned, and called 'a freak.'
Before leaving, I was seen as a good player, perhaps as a very good player, but as one of the many players that Bayern had. But if you play as a Real footballer, you get even more attention. Maybe that part from the fans I do not like so much.
It's an amazing feeling: tennis is growing very quickly in Canada, and to be a big part of it is an honour.
The Olympics was a goal, and definitely, swimming in college was a goal.
My idea behind the film was to show the struggles an athlete continually endures. There is always a story behind a successful sportsperson. In 'Soorma,' we have tried to recreate that.
Ronaldinho is very happy at Barcelona.
I wasn't really expecting me to win the gold in this race. To get another medal for myself and for the U.S. was a pretty good thing to happen, I'd say.
At Inter, I was the best-paid player in the world. But it's not a question of money, because when I go out onto the pitch, I only have one thing in mind - winning.
Football, particularly Brazilian football, is about being happy, and that's what tricks do. It's part of our culture, at the end of the day, though, it's all about winning.
I think all great players set a target for themselves in their careers. Mine was to win a world title with Brazil, which I did twice.
It was unbelievable: competing in my home town at a grand prix I was watching when I was three years old. It was massive and a dream come true.
I just want to show that Juve have done well to believe in me.
I gave it everything in the last 20 minutes. I knew that I still had the energy, that I was ahead of the mark. I felt euphoric — it was the last 20 minutes of my sporting career.
The Olympic Gold medal in 1968 was definitely the highest moment of my career. It was a dream come true. I was a 19-year-old boy, and it was just amazing to be standing on top of the podium and hearing the National Anthem in the background.
India's fortune will depend on how many runs the little champion scores. There is no doubt Tendulkar is the real thing.
To win a gold medal at Olympic Games has long been my dream ever since I started my career as a table tennis player.
The individual stats, that stuff is fun, but it doesn't last. Somebody else is gonna come along and break your records. But the memories that you take are forever.
This year, I feel strong. I'm looking forward to having my best season in the last few years.
