My dad was a scratch golfer growing up. When I’m on the road, I always bring my clubs with me.
Most of the clubs who have had success against Barcelona have relied on a highly organised and disciplined defence.
Debating clubs among boys are very useful, not only as affording pleasant meetings and interesting discussions, but also as serving for training grounds for developing the knowledge and the qualities that are needed in public life.
I’ve never been one to throw clubs, break clubs, or use bad language on the golf course. I’ve played with golfers who’ve done that, and I really hate to see it. If I did something like that, my dad would come get the putter and hit me upside the head with it. I knew better.
You can never know if there will be a second Cruyff, someone with a great personality who can grow up and make it into the squad of the club they love. But what is certain is that, in the Champions League, there will be big clubs producing these players forever.
Credit to all the clubs, if there are incidents anywhere I think the clubs are very quickly on that and are banning supporters who are making racial comments. I think clubs are very much on top of what they see.
I’ve never gone to comedy clubs.
‘The Dante Club’ was one of America’s most important book clubs, as their Wednesday night meetings ultimately led to our country’s first exposure to Dante’s poetry on a wide scale.
That’s where it all started for me, in clubs and bars, and I don’t ever wanna outgrow that.
When I first was trying to play the clubs around Houston to start playing my own songs, songwriters like Eric Taylor and Vince Bell and Townes Van Zandt and Don Sanders were just really encouraging to me and would let me sit in with them during their sets and introduce me to the person that owned and booked the club.
As a footballer, you want to keep testing yourself and you also want to be playing at the biggest clubs possible.
Namely I’m a fan of sides like Lyon, Marseille, PSG, but there is no preference. All these clubs, as well as Bordeaux, have a great history.
Big clubs with one rich owner have been one of the main changes in football since I started playing.
The Supreme Court ruled that disabled golfer Casey Martin has a legal right to ride in a golf cart between shots at PGA Tour events. Man, the next thing you know, they’re going to have some guy carry his clubs around for him.
Some players like to change clubs around the green to hit high or low shots. I play all of my short-game shots with my 54-degree sand wedge and change my ball position to hit it higher or lower. I think it’s easier to learn one club than four.
Before I came to Italy to play for Milan in 2007, I saw in the papers that my name was mentioned in connection with some English clubs.
I’ll answer as many questions as I can, but when people have a contract at other football clubs, I think it’s wrong to talk about them.
But between sets I’d sneak over to the black places to hear blues musicians. It got to the point where I was making my living at white clubs and having my fun at the other places.
When you have good players in your squad that means other clubs are looking to them as well. For me, it is a normal situation in football.
When Atletico tried to buy me back, I did everything I could to make it possible. I had offers from clubs in France and Italy, but I would not have left Chelsea for any other side – only for Atletico Madrid.
When I’m in bars or clubs, it gets to the point where I feel I’m obliged to streak. It’s not a problem.
I’d been DJ-ing in these clubs in N.Y. and I hated everything that was coming out. So I decided I would make it myself. People were making mash-ups or remixes, but I was extra bored, so I actually started remaking these records from scratch.
I am delighted to have signed for Manchester United, one of the most famous clubs in the world.
Clubs have always wanted to buy me during the summer but I have always stayed loyal because I wanted to stay at Arsenal.
Ultimately, playing at international level, at all age groups, is good for a player’s development, and that is good for clubs, too.
I’ve met a lot of military men in my time. After they retire, they are still extremely game. They dress perfectly and have impeccable manners. They always end up as secretaries of golf clubs. I have great admiration for them.
There’s not many Premier League clubs as big as Sunderland, with their fanbase and stadium and facilities.
In England, there are five, six, seven big clubs, and you can never be sure who will win the title in the end. It’s very exciting.
When I started in the clubs, I had to work places where didn’t nobody else want to work. I had to do clubs where street gangs were, had to do motorcycle gangs, gay balls and things of that nature.
Jose has managed at some big, big clubs, and at all of those clubs, there is pressure, it comes with the territory. But he has a wonderful way of dealing with that pressure, and when you manage these sorts of clubs, you’ve got to be used to that.
If he’s got golf clubs in his truck or a camper in his driveway, I don’t hire him.
There are lots of big clubs, and having played for Arsenal, they are also one of them. It’s a huge club, and I was there.
The only thing I could do was play music, because I’d studied classical guitar, trumpet and piano at the American School in Alexandria. So I started out with two other boys in little clubs in Athens. I became a singer by default when our lead vocalist was late one night. Someone had to sing.
I grew up in the West End, so my whole background was living among theatres and musicals and the West End’s coffee bars and clubs. It’s kind of obvious that one day I should do something like that.
I made my name and reputation DJing in hip-hop clubs in New York. ‘Celebrity DJ’ is a term that I hated. To me a celebrity DJ is someone that’s on ‘Big Brother’ or in some kind of B-movie who gets a gig to DJ even though they’re not talented enough to do it.
The swimmers ask me all the time ‘is it going to be on telly more?’ They want their families to watch them. Not every family can afford to go to Rio or Budapest. And it is nice for the clubs and coaches as well to see the people they have brought up.
‘Hairspray’ was my first Broadway show. In the meantime, after the show was over, I would go down and do gigs at these clubs that I wasn’t even old enough to get into. That continued on, and I think what ended up happening was that I just got these incredible opportunities on Broadway.
There’s a lot of open mics, a lot of comedy clubs. Whatever money I could make was OK with me. As long as I could pay the rent, eat food, and tell jokes, doing it was good enough for me.
I’m not suited to Bolton or Blackburn, I would be more suited to Inter or Real Madrid. It wouldn’t be a problem to me to go and manage those clubs because I would win the double or the league every time. Give me Manchester United or Chelsea and I would do the same, it wouldn’t be a problem.
What they call ‘alt-comedy’ now is basically what comedy was like in the ’80s. People tried different things, and everybody went to the clubs; there was no other place. Then somehow, the clubs became infiltrated by Dice Clay and Carrot Top types.
I’m 6′ 6”. It’s hard to find golf clubs that fit you right and work right.
When I go to clubs, I don’t have to wait outside.
I get recognised, but I’m not the sort of person who frequents popular clubs. I try to keep out of that.
I started doing stand-up when I was 15 and doing Letterman when I was 20. So I’ve been doing stand-up comedy and clubs for over 30 years. That’s a long time.
It’s funny shooting movies because you get to see clubs during daylight hours, which no one should ever see – it’s not pretty; there’s a reason the lighting is dim in there.
If success is about winning the league, there will always be 19 disappointed clubs.
Managers lose more than they win until they get to the big 10 clubs; then, they start winning a bit more than they lose.
You can’t get in the top four if you can’t beat the clubs who are in the top four.
I approached work very seriously. I never went out. I couldn’t fathom people who could go out to clubs… I mean, if I had a 6 A.M. call, I had to be prepared. I had to be in bed at a certain hour.
At Arsenal and the so-called big clubs, you always know that there will be a bigger spotlight on every single position.
The only way I survived at school was by doing impersonations of teachers and pupils. That led to me winning a talent competition when I was 16; the prize was three or four gigs in working men’s clubs. I was just showing off: at the time, I thought that’s what acting was.
When I left Liverpool, I could have stayed in England but that would have meant joining clubs that didn’t play football – just a long-ball game.
Chelsea are known as one of the biggest and most successful clubs around.
There’s actually a song called ‘Vegas Lights,’ which I wanted to be an anthem for Vegas, that represented how I felt when I went to the clubs. I felt this weird energy where everybody was having a good time, and it didn’t matter. Dancing like nobody’s watching. It was kind of beautiful.
To be respected as an actor it doesn’t help to be seen out in the clubs.
When the big clubs, and Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world, is interested in you, it’s an honour and it’s a kind of an acceptance of what you play – so it’s a good thing.
