I played a lot of football, and I was a goalkeeper, but I didn't really like playing in goal.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wasn't good enough to be a professional soccer player obviously but that was my first goal in life.
I started playing soccer at age 6 and played both outfield and goalie. Back then, no one wanted to go on goalie - coaches would make deals with me so I'd do it. It's a tough position as a kid.
I started playing football young, and my career was on the pitch.
I'd played some very good games, at Manchester United, at Tottenham Hotspur, but they'd lacked a goal. There've been times when I could have scored myself, but I've played a pass to a team-mate instead.
I couldn't have been a great goalkeeper without power, agility and quickness.
I only started concentrating on football as a career when I left school at 18. I played golf for the Scottish and British boys' teams.
I was not a very good football player when I started out.
I played for 30 years, 20 with England and I did it by setting goals.
I was a hockey player. I played hockey forever. That was my life and my job until I got injured, so I get sports, and I get the sports atmosphere, the feeling around other athletes, but I never played football.
I was a part of Backyard Soccer, and I hear that I score a lot of goals in it.
