I wanted to join the Army when football failed. That was my only realistic form of making an honest living.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I played football, honestly, to get a scholarship.
I tried to look around to see what I wanted to do. Football was something I knew the most about.
I had sacrificed my entire life to play football.
I didn't want to be the rebel who was bottom of the class, so I worked hard. They wanted me to stay on for A-Levels, but football came calling - that was my real love.
My early ambitions were the same as they are now - to play for Manchester United. I was, and still am, football mad.
I wanted to go to college and play football.
By the time I could have played football, I was already into acting and that's what I wanted to do.
If football had always been my main goal then I would have gone to some scholarship school; I could have gotten more exposure there.
The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player.
Actually, I wanted to act even when I was still playing football.
