Football linemen are motivated by a more complicated, self- determining series of factors than the simple fear of humiliation in the public gaze, which is the emotion that galvanizes the backs and receivers
Merlin Olsen
When I played pro football, I never set out to hurt anyone deliberately - unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something
Dick Butkus
Every time I went away I was deceiving my mum. I`d tell her I was going to school but I`d be out on the street playing football. I always had a ball on my feet.
Ronaldo Lima
I`ve never timed myself over 100m, but I have done a test over shorter distances, 20m or 30m, with and without the ball. What`s strange is that I`m faster with the ball than without it. Some people are born for distance running and others for sprint
Ronaldo Lima
I don`t consider myself as the best player in the world. I`m not obsessed with individual titles. I`m much more interested in being part of a team which wins trophies.
Ronaldo Lima
Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it`s much more serious than that.
