rather than the sanitised newspaper quotes, would be interested in reading the players own thoughts.. (of any club).

I did enjoy reading his crazy Dutch entriesch...
"Last Wednesday night in the city. At times it seemed quiet as a mouse. How come? How about one of the most anticipated Champions Leagues finals ever? Rings quite a bell doesn’t it? I know people that would have quit their job if they had to, just to have a chance to attend the match at the Stade De France. There’s no mistaking that I was very pleased with the outcome. I don’t say this to be rude. No, no no, thats just not my style.
But if -as some do- you keep one of the greatest football players from the last decade on the bench till the very end, in my opinion, you don’t really deserve to win a price like that.
If this particular player is ready to shine for the last time in his official career, you deny him a worthy career ending like that? In a final like that? In a place called St. Denis? When your team is starving from genius like that? Well, well, well. Talking about adding insult to injury.
In Suriname, we would say: Hai kissi moi!!, which can approximately be understood as:
Who the cap fits……"
"I feel blessed to be part of one of the most beautiful inventions known to mankind: Football.
I can hardly think of a more universal way of expressing yourself than playing around with a football, one on one, two on two or an all out game. It doesn’t matter. The spirit stayes the same. There is not one place on earth where people of all creed, color and age fail to enjoy the magic of the football game."
"After Lee made a mistake (like we all have this year) at first some of the fans boo-ed him, but when I asked them to stop doing so, they cheered him on when he had the ball. Now let me tell you this gents: that’s the kind of crowd we want."
