“If you play for managers like Karl Robinson, it's about your developme...” — Patrick Bamford Quote

“If you play for managers like Karl Robinson, it's about your development, but there are times when you have to stick up for yourself and let defenders know you are around when nobody is looking.”

“Sometimes you have to take the opportunity when it comes because it might not come again. That's what my thoughts were when I went to Chelsea.”

“The thought of playing in Spain did whet my appetite - playing in a new country and everything that comes with it.”

“The great untruth around which everything pivots is the idea that the defenders of these statues are the defenders of history and truth; while those who want to see them toppled or contextualised are the Huns at the gate, who would destroy national histories and bring down great men.”

“The defenders make me very angry. They are kicking, or they are pinching or they say things to me that I don't like. They try to do everything to take me out of the game. I learned to keep my mouth shut, to keep my hands down, just try to put the ball in the net. This is the best answer.”
