A biography for Timothy F. Cahillhasn’t been written yet.
“I remember cleaning boots at Millwall on £250 a week and feeling like a millionaire. I'd made it then. At that time, if I never played for another club it wouldn't have bothered me too much because I'd made it with a football team in England.”
“Playing away is just as exciting as playing at home.”
“For me, I don't talk about numbers. I've had big contracts my whole career; I just don't like talking about numbers if they're real or not real... whatever offers I've had, I always keep it private.”
“All I do is play football, eat, sleep, play with my kids, play football.”
“I want to work with kids and help develop them, show them the right way, the right morals and attitude into how to become a better footballer. Australia has many different cultures but I'd like to bring in the indigenous style, bring their competitiveness, athleticism and raw ability into the frame.”
“As long as I am able to compete physically with the younger players, I am going to play.”
“Every time I score the passion comes out and I try to relay that back to the fans and to the players and the staff how grateful I am to be playing for such a good football club. The fans have taken well to me. I am part of the furniture at Everton, but I don't take it for granted.”
“I'm blessed that I'm not content. Whenever I work with kids, which I'm passionate about, I want them to know that, yes, two World Cups, two Asian Cups, but I've done it the hard way.”
“I have a lot of friends in the Australian cricket team, and they have told me a lot about India. Brett Lee was telling me about the food and Bollywood. I am the kind of person who likes to embrace the culture of a place, and I really want to travel and see the various temples around the country.”
“I love cricket. My all-time favourite is Sachin Tendulkar, without a shadow of a doubt.”
“Whether you're a mechanic or you build houses or you work in an office, you don't have to like your boss.”
“Being told you're too small and never going to make it is an opinion. And it's a valid opinion, and it's something you take in your stride.”
“It's pretty cliched, but Times Square is just incredible. You really feel like you're in the capital of the world.”
“If kids see you on the street and they want an autograph, that's a big honour so I spend half an hour before I get in the ground and 40 minutes to an hour after the game with the Everton fans signing autographs.”
“I take compliments and I take constructive criticism. Not everyone loves you. It's the way you react as a footballer. I use it all to make me play better.”
“A player has to think a lot bigger than himself personally, regardless of his situation.”
“You could take everything off me tomorrow, I'll still be happy. So long as my family are living very close together, that's all that matters, really, for me.”
“The appetite and fight for winning a game outweighs any other thoughts.”
“I'm someone who doesn't like to talk about money, prefer to focus about what I do on the pitch.”
“I'm a very traditional person. The tattoos are about my grandmother dying and they tell the story about my mother and father, my brothers and my sister, my kids. It's pretty much a family tree on my arm with my life in football too.”
