This follows on from my previous football/soccer quotes hubs Inspirational Soccer Quotes and Funniest Soccer Quotes. To be honest, I am not too sure what the difference in between an 'Inspirational' quote and a 'Motivational' quote is, if there is a difference! Therefore this hub should probably be considered a continuation from the Inspirational hub (and vice versa). Apologies to any 'American Football' fans that may have found this thread looking for quotes from American Footballers, you will know this game as 'soccer' however I am from the UK and referring to 'Football' as anything other than 'Soccer' is slightly shameful.... I feel like a sell out for using the word 'Soccer' in my previous hubs! Anyway, to the point, here is a list of Motivational Football Quotes as found throughout the world wide webternet.
