I give all my life to football; I only think about football. This is what is on my mind all the time.

I understand that football is only a certain time in my life, and my degree will help me sustain my life well past football.

I enjoyed playing, and I've got a full and happy life now, so it's not like I'm looking back longingly at my time in football.

Football is just like life. You have to manage adversity all the time. You have to do the right things and be ready for the moment.

I just want to let people know that JuJu is all about football. He's focused on football. But at the same time, I've gotta live my life, too.

Every time you step on the football field in between those lines you're putting your life, your career, every single ligament in your body in jeopardy.

About a year after I retired from playing, I decided that I wanted to getback to college, where I had the greatest time of my life, and to get involved with college football.

Every time Maradona speaks it makes life difficult for everyone and there are those of us who don't agree with that, not when he talks about football, but rather about people.

We are trying to educate players to use their spare time to train for a life after football, which comes to everybody. You can lead a lot of horses to water, but you can't make them all drink.

I used to play football all the time. In the U.S., people don't play football, so I had to learn basketball. Looking back, that's what I like about my life - doing new things, having a new perspective.

In the time I spent with him, Jurgen Klopp was enigmatic, larger than life, and extremely quick-witted. He is quite unique as a football manager in many ways, and that is what makes him so entertaining.

It's true that time is against me, and I am closer to hanging up my boots, but one thing I have clear is that I will be involved in football. I don't know how, but I will be related to football. It's my life.

By the time I was 10 years old, my entire life was football. Training, reading, watching, even playing football on PlayStation. I was totally focused on it. I especially loved the creative players - the maestros.

You can't do it all. You get many requests all the time, but I still have to focus on football, still have to live my life a little bit. But there are definitely times during the week when you want to take time out.

You can go to the pictures or read a book, but football constantly comes back into your mind. It's not a job, it's a life. It takes up your time, thoughts and energy and it can damage relationships with those around you.

When you're playing football, and your enemies are there, you don't have a lot of time to think to yourself. You've got stuff to handle. You've got places to be, meetings to go to, bigger fish to fry. You really don't attack the emotional side of your life.

It wasn't like I ever said, 'I want to be an actor.' I was in the right place at the right time. I went to a local drama group because I found football on the weekends too cold - which is highly ironic because I've had some of the coldest experiences of my life filming 'Game of Thrones.'
