Eusebio
Throughout my life, I have had a double identity. I have two hearts: one for my home and the other for Portugal.
While I sometimes had to take a zig-zagging course on the football pitch, I have always followed a straight path in life.
Roger Milla
In Africa, I have ceased being Cameroonian. For African people, I am a representative of the entire continent.
Like many other footballers, my destiny is split between two continents - Africa and Europe. And that is not always easy. Footballers should work more in campaigns against illiteracy and AIDS, because children will listen to them more than other people.
Diego Maradona
Only once during my career did I feel as though I had really reached the heights of the game. It was the day when I made my debut in the Argentine first division... I was so happy because I felt that my life was packed with fans.... That sunday would have been perfect if we had won. But it wasn't to be and Talleres beat us thanks to the goal from Luduena.
To be continued...

The great expanse of the field makes the goal more fulfilling isn’t it? The running to and fro, though exhausting, is made more fun when you get to have the ball to yourself. Notice how the crowd cheers and do a standing ovation when a ball hits the goal!!! The feeling is really awesome! The ball flying in mid-air going bull’s eye to the goal is a breath-taking scene.
But what you have here aren’t those ordinary obvious scenes. What you have here is the drama behind each goal. Behind each kick is a rich story. Behind each uniform is a rich origin.
What’s best in your blog is that yours is a non-showbiz made-for-fun story.
