My family knew but most of the sporting world did not realize that my right hand been some 75% paralyzed.

All sports for all people.

The only way to prove that you're a good sport is to lose.

One man practicing sportsmanship is far better than a hundred teaching it.

I always turn to the sports pages first which records people's accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man's failures.

Sports do not build character. They reveal it.

All I can ask from society is that it please stop telling me why I should like sports.

Sports are a microcosm of society.

Young people ask me if this country is serious about science. They aren't thinking about the passport that they will hold but the country that they must rely on for support and encouragement.

I only really watch sport. That's where you see real joy. I don't like watching much else on TV because it's generally either twisted or sad.

You had to be into sport and sad to say I'm a traitor to my country because I don't have a sporting bone in my body.

There are so many different reasons as to why I love riding trains. But I think ultimately it's the romantic feeling of it. There's something about it that just transports me into old films.

I had too much respect for the game to leave it behind or to make it my second or third sport in college.

See I respect boxing because it has given me so much and that's why I will never allow anyone to mistreat the sport of boxing if I can help it.

I do not like sports unless you consider treating all humankind with love and respect a sport.

Golf is game of respect and sportsmanship we have to respect its traditions and its rules.

For me sport was a religion... with religious sentiment.

The importance that our society attaches to sport is incredible. After all is football a game or a religion? The people of this country have allowed sports to get completely out of hand.

Waterpolo is my life. Our relationship is that of predetermination I'll never be better at anything than waterpolo and that is why it is my duty to pursue this sport as long as I can and to the best of my abilities.

EA SPORTS has a strong partnership with adidas and through this relationship they approached adidas about using some of their top players from around the world.

I think that the two of them have been doing this for a really long time and it is more like sport. Yes they would love to find a lasting relationship but it's not likely to happen the way they are going about it.

You'll be dedicated and that's what you should want to be in anything in life - whether it's sports or academics or your relationship. It all stems from finding that fun that thrill that excitement.

In England it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but all in all I prefer that to an alcoholic. The relationship with alcohol is a real problem in English football and in the short term it's much more harmful to a sportsman. It weakens the body which becomes more susceptible to injury.

So I developed very early a massive inferiority complex and I've told the story often about how that inspired me later in life to get involved in other things because I couldn't out-do my brothers in sports and it's a very competitive relationship.
