A biography for Robert Greenhasn’t been written yet.
“A goalkeeping unit is different from outfield; the psychology is different.”
“That's football. It's like in any walk of life: you get some people who are going to try more than others.”
“I want to play every game.”
“With goalkeepers, when a team looks for a keeper, it looks for someone with experience.”
“I've loved every moment and feel privileged to have enjoyed the career I have.”
“Only knowing two hours before the game that you are playing is not a problem. You prepare as though you're playing. If you don't, that's the mistake.”
“A special thank you must go to my mum and dad and entire family for your unwavering support. It means so much for them to have followed and watched nearly all my games, sharing my highs and lows.”
“I was a professional at Norwich for 10 years and associated with the club for nearly 15.”
“I've seen 18 managers go at the clubs I've been playing for. It's a part of football, isn't it?”
“For over a decade, I had played every week, so to then have a season when you are not - that physical and mental high when you build up to a game and come down afterwards - was missing. It takes a while to adjust and is quite confusing.”
“This is the difficulty with not picking up points away from home: the home games become that much more critical.”
“If you play without the shackles and burdens, then you play like you did when you were a kid.”
“Thank you to all of the fans and everybody connected with Norwich City, West Ham United, Queens Park Rangers, Leeds United, Huddersfield Town, and Chelsea.”
“I wouldn't call going into the Premier League an ordeal. I would say the Championship is more of an ordeal than the Premier League.”
“Football's not particularly crazy. Once you are in it, you're in the eye of the storm, and it's quite nice.”
“When the assessment of goalkeepers is made by people who have never actually stood there in a game and experienced it, then it's hard to take it without a large pinch of salt.”
“It's about being steady and taking the rough with the smooth, but that's life as a goalkeeper.”
“As a goalkeeper, you feel like if you're treated like adults and have your position explained to you, you respect that. You might not agree with it, but you get on with it.”
“Once I came out of the First Division with Norwich, it was great.”
“I hope to remain connected with the game that's given me so much in some capacity, whatever that proves to be.”
