Good Sports Football Quotes

This collection holds 10 good sports football quotes, drawn from writers, leaders, artists and thinkers across the QuoteForever archive. The most quoted voices here are Sarah Shahi, Paul Orndorff and Billy Squier.

They are ordered so that each author has a say before anyone repeats, which means the first page gives you the range of the topic rather than one writer's back catalogue.

Use the grid and list views to change how much of each quote you see, follow an author's name to read everything else they said, or open a quote on its own page to copy it, share it, or turn it into a picture quote.

Paul Orndorff

I like contact sports like football. I like collisions, and I was good at it.

Billy Squier / Rock Musician

I was good at sports - basketball, football, tennis and dropped them all. At 16, I didn't care about sports anymore.

Tim Henman / Tennis Player

Unless we get children playing tennis, we'll lose the talented ones with good athletic ability and hand-eye coordination to football and other sports.

Tom Ford / Fashion Designer

I was not good at team sports, I have to say. I'm quite good at individual sports, but I was not good at team sports, so I wasn't good at baseball and football.

Gary Lineker / Soccer Player

If I hadn't have been good enough at football, I'd have been a sports journalist - which is what I do now anyway. Or a cricketer. I might have been a cricketer.

William Petersen / Actor

If I stayed a football player, my career would have been over 20 years ago. As it is, my knees are shot. I found I got the same good feeling in acting that I had in sports, but I found I could have a more profound impact on people.

Sarah Shahi / Actress

I never really paid attention to sports, which, coming from the mecca of football in Texas, is kind of odd. I played sports, but I was nerdy. Having a single mother, the pressure was on me to get good grades and a scholarship and go to college.

Dan Jenkins / Author

The key to any good sports story is identifying the defining moment. In football games or a boxing match, it's usually pretty obvious. But in golf, sometimes it happens on Thursday. Usually it's Sunday, but guys who don't know the game, they can miss it.

Lucy Bronze

When I'm playing football, it's what I know; it's what I'm good at. The spotlight is not just on you: you're with 10 of your team-mates. I could have done other sports, like tennis and athletics, but I like being part of a team where it's not just about you; it's about everybody.

Sarah Shahi / Actress

You know, I never really paid attention to sports, which, coming from the mecca of football in Texas, is kind of odd. I played sports, but I was nerdy. Having a single mother, the pressure was on me to get good grades and a scholarship and go to college.
