cristiano-ronaldo player balls
When Cristiano Ronaldo gets the ball, you can just leave him to it while he beats player after player.
player paul-scholes united
I have played with some great players during my time at United but I would have to put Paul Scholes down as the best.
player years games
I’d go for Scholesy as the club’s greatest ever player. I’ve seen him do things that no other player can do. The way he can control the tempo of games, and his range of passing, are both incredible. We’ve seen over the years that players just haven’t been able to get near him. And you can’t forget his goals either.
team mean boys
I have always considered myself to be very fortunate. To play for the biggest club in the world, which also happens to be the team I supported as a boy, means I have never had to consider changing away from Manchester United.
player men focus
As players, you just play for the club. I love Man United, I'm going to play for Man United, and that's what my focus is on.
sleep games bigs
You get yourself prepared for a big game, you get yourself up for it. Then afterwards you don't sleep or eat properly.
fighting player kicking
What you've got to realise is that footballers, and me in particular, have seen everything in the changing room. Everything. I've seen the manager kicking off with the players, the players kicking off with him, players fighting each other, managers fighting, everything.
brother successful reality
Celebrity culture, it's everywhere, isn't it? It's reality TV, Big Brother. I didn't become a footballer to be famous, I became a footballer to be successful. I didn't want to be famous. Now people want to be famous. Why? Why would you want people following you about all day?
football games goal
If I feel I'm not influencing games, not scoring goals or making goals, then that's the time I'd pack it in.
football holiday kids
Where does it stop? You get offered money for your wedding, then for your kids, new houses, holidays... We earn enough from football and sponsorships, why do you need any more?
player years lasts
Messi is probably the best player of the last 20 years.
inspirational school player
He was a professional rugby player in the area that I played as a youngster. So a lot of people who I went to school with knew who he was and knew that he was black. So I would get racist taunts in school.
winning games play
Every footballer wants to play forever. And if you are going to keep on playing - to enjoy it to the full - you want to win games, and as a result, trophies.
children years use
As a footballer I can't imagine life without the use of one of my legs... Sadly this is exactly what happens to thousands of children every year when they accidentally step on a landmine.
