Quotes from Jamie Redknapp

People ask me why I keep getting injured but I have just had to accept it is one of those things that happen.

I've had two or three injuries when with England and it's been a bit bizarre.

I'm a footballer, that's my job and that's all I want to be known for.

People have always thought of me as a passer of the ball, but you can't just be that these days.

But I've never once thought that I wouldn't get back, as if you do think like that, then you're in trouble.

From a personal point of view I want some medals because that is what you aim for when you start out playing.

But there's no point in looking back and saying I was unlucky.

Sometimes, you just get a label and it sticks.

I haven't achieved as much as I should have done in my career.

The importance of a warm up and cool down can't be stressed enough.

I know I'm 25 now, but there's still that little lad inside me who likes his dad there to see him.

Although my dad Harry is the manager of West Ham, we get on very well.

My dad knows the business, and he tells me I've got to do what's best for me.

I'm looking out for myself, but I'm looking out for my dad, too.

Arsenal have been literally passed to death.

The way I am, I like to look forward instead of looking back.

As I say, you get labelled. To stop all that, I've got to win things - that's the only way you make your mark.

You have to be professional and think about the future.

Most goals are scored between the posts.
