“Funnily enough, I got into football because my father used to get bored with being in goal and we would swap places. My aunt and uncle gave me a goalkeeper’s shirt and a pair of gloves and that’s how it started. I have been here since I was eight. I’ve seen what the sports complex looked like before and what it looks like now, during my time here. I’ve been at Real Madrid for almost 15 years. I wouldn’t even think of leaving right now. I’ve always dreamt of starting here and retiring here. I’m delighted to be playing alongside these players and to think that in the future I’ll be able to say I played with Zidane or Ronaldo. But for now, I see them daily. Besides, I was here first so it’s as if they moved into my home after me.”
-Iker Casillas

“After we played Sporting last week, the lads in the dressing room talked about him constantly, and on the plane back from the game they urged me to sign him. That’s how highly they rated him.” Sir Alex Ferguson.

What a shame UEFA…what a shame…
You obviously don’t know what kind of players and referees are active in your fucking competitions….Congratulations, Gabi. You achieved your aim. Disgusting!
It seems to be common sense that it’s…
