I am fascinated by English football.
Football players have some bodies! Oh my goodness!
I rate Fabien Barthez and played with two great keepers in Alex Stepney and Harry Gregg.
Do I like most footballers? Not really. Joe Hart, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Joleon Lescott, Gabby Agbonlahor and a group of the guys at Villa - good people.
I'm proud to be an actor. See, as an actor, you live longer. Football players, the brain and all that stuff, ooh-eee, that's not good.
I was here at Spurs as a kid, too, and I cleaned David Ginola and David Howells boots. I got a nice tip of £60 from each of them at Christmas. Howells was quick to give me this but I had to ask Les Ferdinand to explain to Ginola about our boot etiquette and the tradition of tipping at Christmas. Everyone wanted to clean Les Ferdinand s boots because he was the best tipper. He gave out £100 one year.
What's so amazing in today's society is people look up to football players. And as a football player, you have a platform. And it's so much more important than any touchdown or trophy or anything you could win with football. Its taking that platform and be able to influence people.
Lionel Messi is a wonderful player. Very skillful. Highly intelligent. He is not good in the air.
If I had to chose between Messi and Ronaldo, then most likely I would choose Messi.
In Oklahoma, the girls like the big football players. Girls were more interested in those guys, and I was, like, kind of a drama kid.
I've always been a big fan of Thierry Henry. I enjoy watching all the great players, really. But we're always drawn to some players more than others, and in my case, it's Titi. He's my favourite player. I also really liked Luis Figo when he was at Real Madrid.
It's a very good feeling here to play at Wembley, to play in the Premier League, to know another championship and other players.
Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?
Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie are two of the best strikers in the league and the reason I came to the Premier League was to play against people like them.
This city has two great teams – Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.
You always attempt to better yourself by getting good football players.
What's the problem that people have here in Spain with Maradona and Messi? They spend the whole day comparing them.
Football is such a great game, but football players are so dull.
I almost never watch TV, except for '60 Minutes' and pro football. I love Drew Brees, the Manning brothers and the Steelers' linebackers.
Kyriakos Papadopoulos is really funny. So is Karim Bellarabi. They are full of jokes in the dressing room.
At clubs like Liverpool, great players come and go.
To be honest, there are no problems between me and Messi. People have their own opinions about who they think is the better player. It is what it is, but there is no rivalry beyond games and what happens on the pitch.
I do follow the NFL. It took me a while to get back into it, but I do follow it religiously now. Huge Packers and Steelers fan.
My first season with Pittsburgh was 1969. We were still in the old NFL. My second year, we moved to the AFC when the leagues merged. I went to the Pro Bowl that season, and there must have been nine Raiders and nine Chiefs. I got to know all those guys.
Chess is a lot of fun for me. Football is a physical game, and in chess you can just beat someone mentally - you outwit somebody, outmaneuver them, think ahead of them.
