“The thing is, Stoke City pulled me out of a situation where I was not playing, where I was not happy, and that was in Germany. They have breathed new life into me.”

“I didn't care about anyone or listen to nobody, only my father or mother. I would fight my coaches and say: 'Who are you to scream or shout at me? Are you my dad? Talk to me normally.'”

“Of course, you try to achieve some things to provide for you and your family, and your club can pay you whatever they pay you. But, for me, it's important to be healthy, stay on the pitch and give everything to make performances. This is priority number one for me.”

“These people you grew up with, they're important to you in your life. They've been there for you. They're your friends. They've seen you make it. They really are happy for you. But they see you with this new life, with a new set of friends, and it can be hard to balance that.”

“I feel like the most fascinating parts of a trans life take place after the decision to transition. They take place when you're in this new body, in this new life, and you start realizing things.”

“We have so much left to experience and learn about each other - it's almost like we've been remarried with the show being over. Now it's a whole new life for us.”
