Derby born and bred, mate.

A derby is always special.

Yeah, I did roller derby for three years.

I really enjoyed my first Istanbul derby.

A hat trick in a derby is a special thing.

Winning a derby is always a beautiful thing.

I already know about the importance of the derby.

Playing in the Manchester derby definitely helped me.

In England, every game is like a derby, because it's physical.

Every derby is special, especially the atmosphere on the stands.

I played my first derby, I won, and I scored. As good as it gets!

You can't win the Kentucky Derby unless you're on a thoroughbred.

Every derby match is different, just like every season is different.

The Merseyside derby is a terrific game full of passion, full of quality.

Marcel Desailly was pretty hard when I played against him in a Milan derby.

The derby d'Italia is a very difficult match, five out of five on the scale.

Argentina against Brazil is the most important derby between national teams.

If Jack Nicklaus can win the Masters at 46, I can win the Kentucky Derby at 54.

A derby is a derby. When you play a derby, it is for winning, not just to play.

Scoring in the Derby d'Italia is always important and a source of great satisfaction.

When I was a kid, watching All-Star week on TV, the Home Run Derby was a highlight for me.

Derby day in Buenos Aires is completely crazy and those sort of experiences have shaped me.

At the Home Run Derby, you're expected to hit home runs. You're up there trying to hit home runs.

It's something you dream of. It's very special to play in the Merseyside derby and, especially, win.

I went out to the Derby on Wednesday and think it is the most interesting thing I ever saw over here.

There's a roller derby girl that goes by that name, 'Nerd Rage,' and she named herself after my album.

I remember, when I was at Sunderland, we made the FA Cup final and played in front of 20,000 at Derby.

In Dortmund, they say the derby is more important than the championship. You can feel it around the game.

On derby day it's not down to form, it's on the day, who's prepared for the game and who wants to battle.

When I came back to England after my stint with Derby in 1995, I really wanted more time to study coaching.

I kind of press pause when it's a derby, and the season doesn't matter to me anymore; it's all about the derby.

My favorite Saturday, outside any Saturday that Louisiana State University plays football, is the Kentucky Derby.

There were plenty of clubs wanting me but as soon as my agent Lee Robinson told me Derby were interested I had a good feeling.

If I could help someone somewhere, help a young manager, I'd love that. I did it at Derby with Darren Wassall and had a great time.

The derby is always the most important match of the year and it's always nice to score goals against the leaders and the best teams.

That is where I got my childhood memories, watching the Home Run Derby as a kid. Maybe some kids are watching me. I would like to return that.

I've announced every kind of sporting event except hockey and demolition derby, and to be frank about it, I don't really care to ever do those.

One and done, Home Run Derby champion. It was a cool experience. I enjoyed it all, but I don't think I really need to go out there and do it again.

It doesn't matter how young or old you are, and whatever jersey you wear, you realise the derby games prick up the hairs on the backs of people's necks.

The Derby experience had not been good for me and the way it finished left a very bad taste in my mouth so I questioned whether I wanted to go back into management.

I enjoyed playing against Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool but the north London derby was totally different. I have so many great memories from this fixture.

Sometimes in a derby it is not always easy to see a very good game with big quality but the power of one derby means you can see good things happen after one result.

I'm still a horse that can run. I may not be able to win the Derby, but what do you do when you retire? People retire and they vegetate. They go away and they dry up.

I thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat. everything a contradiction: the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large.

Basketball would have been the natural sport to play, but it's a little too aggressive for me, so instead I dabbled in volleyball and some good old-fashioned Roller Derby.

When I go on loan, I don't really think about Chelsea. I just concentrate on the team I'm at and try to help them, same as when I was at MK Dons, Derby, and Middlesbrough.

I think, always, the form of the players is a decisive factor. And a game-plan and the referee. He can influence the game. And in a derby, a cool head is also very important.

As a young boy I won a few dollars in 1972 when Riva Ridge won the Kentucky Derby. I had overheard someone say he was going to win, and I guess that made an impression on me.

That was always special, playing Manchester United. I loved the feeling of the derby, that pressure, the atmosphere around it. And I did have some good matches there, didn't I?

The Manchester derby, for our supporters, is the most important game in the season. Always, a few days before the game, the people create that atmosphere that is special to them.
