“I went from Chelsea to Fulham - two Premier League teams at the time -...” — Neil Etheridge Quote

I went from Chelsea to Fulham - two Premier League teams at the time - and was sitting on the bench for the Europa League and Premier League and you don't think it is going to finish.

You sit on the bench in the Premier League for one week, you could be playing for the rest of the season if the No. 1 at that time had a bad game.

Getting to the Premier League is significant enough. But staying in it is another thing entirely, particularly when you've not spent much and kept the core of the team that was promoted from the Championship and was not even fancied to do so in the first place.

Am I good enough? That's a big thing. Sometimes I do put on a front of 'I'm amazing' and I do believe it, but sometimes I don't believe it.

In 1959 I had broken the bench press record by lifting 565 pounds, and I could lift 715 pounds from a squat.

A throne is only a bench covered with velvet.

Truly, the bench is a boon to idlers. Whoever first came up with the idea is a genius: free public resting places where you can take time out from the bustle and brouhaha of the city, and simply sit and watch and reflect.

I was never the guy that just rode the bench.

I've started. I've come off the bench. I've not played. I've been on the worst team in the NBA. I've won championships.
