When it's football time, that's where I am - the studying, the working, the practicing, everything.

I want to play Villanova basketball.

I know the people expect the best - good. The people expect we'll play fantastic football and win games - good. I can't control that. I accept that, and I just focus on my players in the games.

Why can't you be both? Why can't I be on the basketball team but also be the student president?

I grew up playing on unprepared surfaces where your wicket depended on quickly adapting to the bounce. As a kid, I could never differentiate off-spin from leg-spin. All I looked to do was to try to hit the ball before it pitched.

The way I operate as a football player and the product that I put on the field in relation to the business that I conduct, I want it to be as tough as possible in practice so when I get into the games I've been there before.

I went to trials at Northants academy and got in. It was a crossroads between cricket and football.

I used to watch English football on TV when I was younger in Brazil. I already knew it was a dynamic, competitive and fast way of playing. When I got here, I just confirmed all of that.

Young Petr Cech was sports mad, football mad.

First I was still excited and elated about winning the Rhodes scholarship. That was an amazing feat. But then I put my iPod on and started listening to my pre-game music and started to switch my mind to football and was just hoping that the jet would land as quickly as possible so that I could get on the field and help my teammates win the game.

'We need a guy who plays dodge ball and thinks he's a pirate - get me Alan Tudyk on the phone!' Those are the jobs I do.

On matters of race, on matters of decency, baseball should lead the way.

Mum tries to keep our mind on other things as well as football. But my dad's always football.

Baseball is like any sport. It's mostly instincts.

As an NFL player, and as a veteran in this game, no one cares what you're doing during the offseason. They only care about what you do on the football field.

I have many footballer friends including I M Vijayan.

If you are going to be successful in football you have to make sacrifices and that's something I am happy to do.

Racism has been in football since football started, it's never going away, it's never got better. It's just noticed more because everything is on TV, everything is magnified.

Buddhism allows me to feel well, tranquil, and very happy inside. This is good not only for football but for my life in general.

I think that most players enjoy playing football, but, like in everything, there are good moments and bad moments.
