Better Quote by Ryan Mason

“In England there's a philosophy that it's better to be bigger and stronger. I was in the gym doing bench-presses which had no relevance and it wasn't helping me on the pitch. It was extra weight I didn't need and I couldn't carry. A lot of injuries came through that.” quote by Ryan Mason
