I’m getting excited before every single game. The trophy at the end is less important than the process itself.
In my world, the dressing room was sacrosanct. The only time anyone was permitted to take pictures in there was when we had won a trophy.
When I’m done fighting, I want to look to get some sort of driving career somewhere. My goal is to eventually get into the Mint 400 and do the trophy truck stuff.

When you get a trophy, why go jumping and crying? Winning’s a great feeling, but everything else is an anti-climax.
If you play cricket for India, money is bound to come, and with IPL in and match money of the Ranjhi trophy, I think money is there. There’s no good reason why you should not work hard, because at the end of the day, you want to play for your country.
We cannot say that Asian Champions Trophy is that easy a contest.
I’m very hard on myself. Sometimes too hard on myself. When I lost in the Wimbledon finals, I was so sad, I cried. I had the runner-up trophy! It’s still a great accomplishment, but I was so mad.
I wanted my faith to look the same to everyone else and to be the same for me regardless of what was going on – whether I was on the Super Bowl podium holding the trophy or when I was being benched two years later and people saying that I would never play again.
There has to be a level of entertainment. But the trophy cabinet is something that is more visible.
When I won my first trophy, it was just a feeling of ‘we want more.’
One of the things that happens in my house on the holidays is after dessert, we sit down to a very ambitious men-versus-women game of Trivial Pursuit. It’s brutal. And there’s a trophy.

The 2002 Premier League was the best trophy for me.
If the be-all and end-all of your ability is, ‘Have you got a trophy to your name,’ I find that hard to understand. It’s so naive in terms of what the job of being a football coach is all about.
When you first win a trophy, you want to do it again and again. It keeps you hungry.
One trophy is good, but two are better. That way, when a hero wears his medals on his chest, at least his steps are level as he walks by.

The fight for the Muhammad Ali trophy is about the best fighting the best.
Winning a trophy would be a good way to finish a bad season in a positive way. But I’m not obsessed by the fact I have to win a trophy every year – it’s a nice thing, but I know it’s sometimes impossible.

After winning the European Championship with Spain, I know exactly how it feels to win a major trophy, and I know that, if we can win at Liverpool, it will feel the same or even better than it did with Spain.
Rawn did her own thing in her own way. She cast the female gaze on a genre heavy with all-male quest fellowships, trophy females, and the occasional Smurfette. Her world was male-dominated and highly patriarchal, but she populated it with notable numbers of well-drawn female characters.
My favorite thing is when we lift a trophy. Afterward, we can have a picture of us lifting a trophy. And that picture shows a lot of work, a lot of difficulty and a lot of sacrifice together.
You get a world-class athlete like Hershel Walker, who was a Heisman trophy winner and did some amazing things, but he had a martial arts background. He did kickboxing. He had a combat sports background. It was just rekindling that training and that martial arts workout ethic. He got back into it and did quite well.
All my career, I’ve played in great teams – Marseille was a great team, Arsenal was a great thing, but we never won a trophy. With Manchester City, first year, it happened, and it was just a big relief.
My one regret is that I didn’t win a trophy with Tottenham, despite us being a strong team who played good, attractive football.

I won an MVP trophy with the St. Louis Amateur Baseball Association. I didn’t even start. I was a sub on this team. This was, like, an All-Star game where we had athletes from different teams, different mixtures. We had, like, the only black team in the league, basically. We had four players go to the All-Star game.
For people like me, books are something solid and real, whereas digital stuff is a bit more ethereal. I like the trophy on my shelf, the presence in my home. A nice book is just as valuable as a decoration as a beautiful porcelain urn – and, let’s face it, a hell of a lot more useful.
I just can’t see myself as a trophy wife. I can’t imagine not having my own life.

It took me five years to get my first trophy with Ajax but it feels like you have to win a trophy to win more and then they follow. It’s just the belief you can win it.
I think I am difficult to satisfy, because when I win something, I’m already thinking about the next step, and that is maybe a problem for me. I’m not enjoying the moment. I’m already on the mission to win the next trophy.
No cares about the Muhammad Ali trophy.
I remember dreaming about playing professional basketball as a kid in the gyms of Tbilisi, and now, after a journey across continents that began when I was a teenager, I am coming home with the championship trophy.
I won some winners’ medals with Lancashire – a NatWest trophy and a couple of Sunday Leagues.
Of course I have dreamed about that – and about showing off the Champions League trophy to the cows back in Liencres.

Winning a trophy is important for your mentality.
If the award comes with a check, then I want that award. But if it doesn’t come with a check, then I’m not that interested. I’d much rather join NASCAR and get a trophy and a check.

Arsenal are a great team. But we lifted the trophy eight times in 11 years.

Of course it would be nice to go to another Champions League final and hopefully win it again one day, but for me, the Premier League is the best trophy to have.
