Every quarterback can throw a ball; every running back can run; every receiver is fast; but that mental toughness that you talk about translates into competitiveness.

In my heart, I am always a Raider.

You can sometimes play some really good football and not score.

A lot of times I find that people who are blessed with the most talent don’t ever develop that attitude, and the ones who aren’t blessed in that way are the most competitive and have the biggest heart.

As a part of the NFL, things change every year.

People have to understand one thing: at the age of 18, I arrived at a dream club like Manchester United. It was a dream come true. But, even at that moment, I was thinking about playing in England for some years and then going to play in Spain. Even at that time I was thinking that way, and I always gave 100% everything.

Fortunately for a quarterback, you can play for a long time because you don’t get hit very often.

I see myself as the best footballer in the world. If you don’t believe you are the best, then you will never achieve all that you are capable of.

The English game is not faster than the German game. Perhaps there are a few more sprints. But there is a different style of football here, partially due to the weather.

The nice thing is that when people come up to me, it’s the football they remember, not all the other rubbish.

Like a baseball game, wars are not over till they are over. Wars don’t run on a clock like football. No previous generation was so hopelessly unrealistic that this had to be explained to them.

I make impact plays. I make game-changing plays.

I do understand it’s not easy to run an I-league club. I have been part of many and I know the scene.

I don’t think there’s been anything in the game of football in my lifetime that has changed college football more than redshirting.

To me, football is so much about mental toughness, it’s digging deep, it’s doing whatever you need to do to help a team win and that comes in a lot of shapes and forms.

The first two games for Churchill, I was so jittery that I didn’t know what to do. I was running more but didn’t know what to do. I’ve no bones accepting the fact that I didn’t know what was happening in the game.

I don’t believe you could be a 39-year-old quarterback in the NFL and eat cheeseburgers every day. I want to be able to do what I love to do for a long time.

Louis van Gaal is one of the most successful managers in the world.

What is Champions League level? I saw a lot of rubbish games at Champions League level.

I’m not gonna be bad at anything, and I want to actually be the best at anything I’m doing. So if I’m playing basketball, if I’m taking the SATs, like, there’s a competitive spirit behind it. With production, it’s the same thing.

We murdered them 0-0.

At 17, I went to Stanford University to study engineering. My time was occupied with the required reading and the extracurricular duties of managing the baseball and football teams and earning my way.

The joy and love that I get from playing football are unbelievable. It is such a feeling that I want to give everything that I have got. I just enjoy it, I am living a life that I never even dreamt of.

The most important 6 inches on the battlefield is between your ears.

Football coaches don’t have real problems.

I’ve always been privileged to play for Coach Belichick, who I’ve always said is the best coach in the history of the league.

I am happy and proud to play for my country and my club Mohun Bagan.

I love football and the intensity of football in Liverpool, this is what is very good for me.

I saw 14 games in two and a half months at Churchill. It was what I really signed for. They were eyeing the championship and also playing the AFC Cup. So I am very thankful for Churchill, the coaching staff and the players.

We should play free football, defend lively with a passion, and have the best understanding in offence.

I look at athletes in all sports and try to picture what kind of football player they’d be, what position they’d play and so on.

They’ll forget all the rubbish when I’ve gone, and they’ll remember the football. If only one person thinks I’m the best player in the world, that’s good enough for me.

They used to call me ‚Touchdown T.‘ I remember in high school, we had homecoming, and I got in front of the pep rally, and I told them, ‚I’m going to run for three touchdowns.‘ I ran for three touchdowns, kicked the extra point, and took myself out the game.

There’s no point in making predictions. It’s not worth speculating because nothing is set in stone and things change all the time in football. Today there are opportunities that no one knows if they will come round again in the future.

I’m looking forward to the intensity of football and how the people live football in Liverpool. It’s a special club.

I idolised IM Vijayan and Krisanu Dey when I started watching football. After that, it was Bhaichung Bhutia in India and Brazilian Ronaldo abroad.

Derbies are always difficult to play because you have to handle the pressure. There’s no advantage or disadvantage for either side.

It obviously bothers people when Real Madrid win. It makes them jealous. There isn’t a level playing field.

I’ve thought sometimes about what I like about football, and it’s playing together.

I always thought about working in England because of the kind of football, the intensity of football. Liverpool was first choice.

The intensity of the football and how the people live football in Liverpool – it is not a usual.

A warrior is not a person that carries a gun. The biggest war you ever go through is right between your own ears. It’s in your mind. We’re all going through a war in our mind, and we have to callus our mind to fight that war and to win that war.

Football is a team game and none can survive or excel without the help of the other.

The more players I have, the more difficult choices there are for me, but the better it is for LFC.

Weak minds sink under prosperity as well as adversity; but strong and deep ones have two high tides.

I was the one who took football off the back pages and put it on to page one.

Football is a contact sport. So, on the pitch, it isn’t possible to maintain distance like you can in an office job.

In India, people are really glued to the Premier League and La Liga.

If Everton were playing down the bottom of my garden, I’d draw the curtains.

We want to play the AFC Cup every year.

I’m a football fan, a sports fan, a fan of competition.

Football is all about fans.

I used to rush home to see ‚Match Of The Day.‘ Whatever I was doing, I wouldn’t miss it.

Politics is like football; if you see daylight, go through the hole.

I support Real Madrid. I’m a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The emotion to handle the pressure is one of the biggest challenges in football – it’s the top challenge.

In England, football is a big thing to talk about, but Liverpool, it’s a special place. You feel it when you make your first step.

I used to dream about taking the ball ‚round the keeper, stopping it on the line, and then getting on my hands and knees and heading it into the net. When I scored against Benfica in the 1968 European Cup final, I nearly did it. I left the keeper for dead, but then I chickened out.

If you’re a quarterback, you want everything on your shoulders. You want to be the one to make the decisions.

If you made me the national commissioner of football, I’d tell you one thing that I would mandate. The second Saturday in September, we’re going to have conference day. Everybody from the SEC plays a Big 12 team. Everybody from the Big Ten is going to play the ACC. Everybody from the Big East is going to play the Pac-10.

After the 12th class exam results, I got a call from Mohun Bagan. They saw me at Durand Cup when I was playing for City Club of Delhi. I thought they might want me for SAIL Academy. Never ever I thought Mohun Bagan is calling me for Mohun Bagan!
