“Copenhagen is my local club where I live in Denmark and is the club I've been to watch more than anybody else. But that's literally because the stadium is two minutes from my house.”

“If you have got pace and awareness of where you want the ball and where you want to go yourself, you are getting in positions behind defenders and that is what defenders want the least.”

“The family are the people who see you day in day out through all the bad times as well.”

“If you want to surround yourself with a lot of people and be pampered then that is a decision you make yourself. Personally I don't do it and I don't feel the need to do it.”

“At the end of the day it's 11 men versus 11 on the pitch.”

“So the difference between goalkeepers and outfielders is the little, tiny, minute details which are the difference and when they go against you, they are really glaring and they will be spotted.”

“One of my biggest goals is to not be remembered as just a footballer.”

“To win four games in a row at any point in the season for any team in the Premier League is a great achievement.”

“You have got to dream big.”

“I can only have admiration for the Irish as a nation.”

“Football was so over-awing, so intense, just everything in your life. You couldn't go anywhere, really, with my dad and the circus around football became too much for me at a young age. I fell back in love with it probably around 13-14. It was much to do with the camaraderie, the team-work and being part of a team.”

“My dad had a great career and if I could win a tenth of what he did in football, I'd be happy.”

“No one asks the players' opinions. They tell us the rules but they won't listen to us.”

“The important statistic is the number of games you win.”

“I hated getting to a Saturday and not having a game. For me it was about playing.”

“For me, pressure is part of the game, that I really enjoy.”

“He has nothing to do with me and football really. I don't see any need for us to start talking about football. Some players have relationships with their fathers where they talk football and get into arguments about it. It is something we have never done. It is just a natural thing, he is my dad and not my coach.”

“Goalkeepers need to have some stability, some certainty and some freedom to make mistakes knowing that you're not going to have to pay the consequences, other than conceding a goal.”

“You enter every competition wanting to go as far as you can.”

“I feel just an overwhelming sense of pride of being part of the family that Vichai built and the extended family of Leicester City.”
