“When you play for Iceland I don't think there is often such a thing as a must-win game.”

“Maybe I'm not selfish enough for a striker but I enjoy football too much.”

“I was just happy to have played when I played.”

“Scholes is one of the most complete footballers I've ever seen. His one-touch play is phenomenal. Whenever I have played against him I never felt I could get close to him.”

“You don't need me to talk about the qualities of David Beckham as a footballer. He's a player who is admired throughout the world. He's pure quality.”

“It has felt like a natural development to move to midfield. If there is a pass on, I will play it.”

“I am greedy, in the positive sense of the word. I want to score in every game.”

“Footballers feel this immense pressure to perform and be at the top level all of the time. It can have an effect on you when things are not going right. Sometimes you look for something different to get that adrenaline rush or whatever.”

“It's not easy to teach what comes naturally.”

“When a new manager comes in, every player has a little question mark over his head, and you want to show your best stuff and want to impress.”

“When Frank Lampard joined, in 2001, I'd been at Chelsea for one season. We spent 11m on him. 11m back in the day was a lot of money.”

“When you're not happy in your work, it's difficult to get the best out of yourself.”

“Chelsea will always be my number one club in football.”

“My situation wasn't great at Stoke in all honesty and I've got the opportunity to come here and impress the manager, get games under my belt and help Fulham push forward.”

“I have been the biggest fan of Paul Scholes and I am sure that Scholes at his best could play in the Barcelona team.”

“I have a big appetite for goals.”

“Pace is in the mind many times. You've got physical pace but pace in thinking, in reading the game. That's always been one of my stronger points anyway.”

“I don't think Sergio Busquets is the best defensive midfielder in the world but for Barcelona he is the perfect player because of the way he plays.”

“AEK Athens is a challenge for me, a different path in my career. I want to play a big part in the club's history. I don't like making promises but I will proudly wear the shirt.”

“There are stages when you are disappointed when you are not playing. You make more out of it than what it actually is but in the end it's all down to yourself.”
