The thing about football is when you've got guys that work hard and do things the right way, it'll come together... it's supposed to if you put the work in.

You know, a football coach is nothing more than a teacher. You teach them the same subject, and you have a group of new guys every year.

I love football so when I finish playing I would like to still be involved in it somehow and a manager would be my first choice.

There are two types of football - there's physical football and football talent.

It doesn't matter who you are, football's a business. At some stage you're going to have to leave a football club; that's just normal.

I think any football is a guy that is able to one, be able to be humble and hungry off the field, but at the same time on the football field understand what they have to get done and be a little bit ferocious.

There's room for boys' and girls' football in the world-that's what I believe.

I used to tell the players that professional football is a part-time profession. I used to tell them it gets you ready for your life's work.

Football is in a guy's DNA. A primal thing. You should play it so you can talk about the glory days when you get older and drink Bud with the guys from the office. Get it done when you're young, while you have the chance.

The whole object of the players' association is to try and make sure that any individual is able to capitalise on his ability, particularly in football, which is a very short career.
