I stopped playing football because I'd done as much as I could. I needed something which was going to excite me as much as football had excited me.
Eric Cantona

I started beach football in Monte Carlo when I retired from football in 1997. I liked the game very much.
Eric Cantona

In football you have an adversary; in cinema that adversary is yourself.
Eric Cantona

The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.
Dwight D. Eisenhower

I've learnt and I just want to be respected for what I've achieved on the pitch. I know I haven't achieved much off it but I do know I've given pleasure to people watching me play football over the years.
Paul Gascoigne

My private life is perfect. If your private life and your life outside football is good, then it is good on the field for you.
David Beckham

I've felt a little tired, but I'm only 24. I love playing football. That's my job and that's what I love doing.
David Beckham

With United, we'd all grown up together, we all wanted to win the biggest trophy in football. We did it togther.
David Beckham

There's room for boys' and girls' football in the world-that's what I believe.
David Beckham

Like a baseball game, wars are not over till they are over. Wars don't run on a clock like football. No previous generation was so hopelessly unrealistic that this had to be explained to them.
Thomas Sowell

Sharks are as tough as those football fans who take their shirts off during games in Chicago in January, only more intelligent.
Dave Barry

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

In the German football team players from different clubs need to get on with each other both on and off the pitch. In the grand coalition Christian Democrats and Social Democrats sit in the same boat and need to pull in the same direction.
Angela Merkel

It is veneer, rouge, aestheticism, art museums, new theaters, etc. that make America impotent. The good things are football, kindness, and jazz bands.
George Santayana

I'm taking T.O., every day... He gives me the whole football field.
Michael Irvin

You made it something special. Most of all, I want to thank the fans for your support not through the great times that we shared on the football field, but for the last 17 years of my life. You have supported me through all times.
Michael Irvin

One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organizations do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team. The first requisite is life, always.
Aiden Wilson Tozer

Don't matter what they throw at us. Only angry people win football games.
Darrell Royal

You know, a football coach is nothing more than a teacher. You teach them the same subject, and you have a group of new guys every year.
Darrell Royal

Football doesn't build character. It eliminates the weak ones.
