Football was my saving grace so I want to let people know…

“Football was my saving grace so I want to let people know that you can achieve whatever you want. People like to concentrate on what you can't do, so let's preach what you can. Why would I want to talk about not being quick when I'm strong? That's what I want to get across.” quote by Adebayo Akinfenwa
