If you want to walk the heavenly streets of gold, you gotta know the password, "Roll, Tide, Roll!"
At the end of the day, I'm a footballer who has played at some of the biggest football clubs in the world and played with some of the best players in the world.
I'd like to have seen Tony Morley left on as a down-and-out winger.
I used to like Barbra Streisand films. It was Funny Girl that really turned me on, in a sense, to acting. I remember it specifically being a rainy Saturday afternoon. I couldnt play football, so I stayed in, and I watched Funny Girl.
Messi is the real deal when it comes to Number 10s. He represents a type of football that transcends borders.
Racism and discrimination of any kind have no place in football.
We were defined by what we did. What we had to do. I think this is why guys like football, and why they join the army, because as long as you are playing the game or following orders you do not have to figure out who you really are.
When I won the world championship, in 1972, the United States had an image of, you know, a football country, a baseball country, but nobody thought of it as an intellectual country.
Have we become a cupcake league? We already have better helmets and gear. Wonder how the old school players feel about this. Not in the back of minds when talking about 18 game season so let's play football please. . . Even guys using shoulders to hit are getting flagged for helmet-to-helmet. Defense is getting sloppy because guys are avoiding fines and will get worse if suspending comes into play.
I'm the same as maybe six or seven people in every ten - I can't take f***ing criticism.
[T]hat old September feeling, left over from school days, of summer passing, vacation nearly done, obligations gathering, books and football in the air. . . Another fall, another turned page: there was something of jubilee in that annual autumnal beginning, as if last year's mistakes had been wiped clean by summer.
The Democrats have to do what he did when [Rahm Emanuel] was chairman of the Democratic House Campaign Committee, recruit veterans, recruit football players, recruit business people. And I think that's what the job of the new party chair has to be.
Life is great, football is better.
I was captain of Wales; I've been captain of numerous football clubs.
Italy doesn't need American football. For what? I've been. Wine, women, song, shopping, unbelievable vistas and landscapes. . . Do they need Titans vs. Panthers? Uh, no.
If God wanted football played in the spring, he would not have invented baseball.
A big, studly football jock like me? I got plenty of blood to spare. For you, I have anything to spare.
You may not win the Super Bowl. Your kids may not go on to be doctors and lawyers and everything may not go perfectly. That doesn't mean it was a bad plan or the wrong thing. It's just like a football season. Everything's not going to go perfect.
A very good side playing at the sort of level we are aspiring to.
In life and in sports we know that nothing lasts forever. The same year the greatest physical gift (football) the Lord gave me was taken away from me, I was blessed with the greatest gift any of us could have in two beautiful children. I’d take that trade every day of the week.
