“Over analyse, paralyse, you mustn't over analyse... Do you wake up at four in the morning and wonder who should be playing left-back? Four? I would love to sleep that long. If you want a really long career you have to find a way of switching off. I do it when I'm out walking my dog, Alex Ferguson got into horses, others get into wine. Some players like going shopping, which is not my scene. A lot of them turn to golf. I tried it, didn't like it. I have to walk. If I couldn't I'd be in a padded cell by now.” IfsWayWantShouldLongTurnsLeftSleepWalksWonderCareersMorningFourPlayerDogFootballWalkingSceneHorseWake UpWineGolfCellsManagersSoccerShoppingMy DogChairmanAlexReally LongSwitchingFergusonLong CareersSwitching Off Author:Roy Keane
“Without defeats, how do you really know who the hell you are? If you never had to stand up to something - to get up, to be knocked down, and to get up again - life can walk over you wearing football cleats. But each time you do get up, you're bigger, taller, finer, more beautiful, more kind, more understanding, more loving. Each time you get up, you're more inclusive. More people can stand under your umbrella.” PeopleIfsKnowsKindBeautifulUnderstandingGrowthWalksHellFootballBiggerDown AndDefeatGet UpOver YouShortcomingsUmbrellaKnocked DownCleats Author:Maya Angelou

So when Prince came back to the box where I would have been after he performed, he said to my makeup artist, "Where's Stevie?"
