Today you play for a place in history, today you play for immortality.

When I see the Bill Shankly statue, I look at the sentiment on the base. It says: 'He made the people happy’. Well now the modern Liverpool is making the fans and the city happy. And that makes me so proud.

We don't destroy our heroes today when we worshipped them yesterday.

Players have responsibilities, because, whether they like it or not, they are public figures. They have to be aware that the people who come to the ground spend fortunes in relation to what they earn.

We don't have any splits here. The players country is Liverpool Football Club and their language is football.

There are those who say maybe I should forget about football. Maybe I should forget about breathing.

I want to keep an English heart to the team. I believe in that. Michael Owen is that. Never think Michael is afraid of anything.
