Nowadays, people always say, how come he's doing such young shows? But they never mention The Mod Squad. I was very proud of that show. It's the first time an African-American guy kissed a white girl.
Aaron Spelling
We want to progress and ultimately win something. You can't do that with 11, 12 or 13 players, you need a squad.
Adam Lallana
I'm confident enough in my own ability and what I bring to the squad.
Being a part of the practice squad was a tough year for me.
Adam Thielen
In the NFL, there's never really that moment where you're like, Hey, I made the team. Or: Hey, you made the practice squad. You just kind of show up the next day and go to work. Nobody really says anything. You just kind of go to work.
It's unbelievable what one squadron of twelve aircraft did to tip the balance.
Adolf Galland
But when I was selected, after my very first tour of squadron duty, to become one of the youngest candidates for the test pilot school, I began to realize, maybe you are a little bit better.
Alan Shepard
I'm the leading scorer in the cup, and that's lovely, but don't forget this is also a great moment for the whole squad, when the two things coincide you can't ask for more.
Alessandro Del Piero
You are all mates off the pitch, but on it, you are all competing for places. I think that only makes a healthier squad - more players fighting for positions can only mean everyone has got to step their game up.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Ever since I've been at Arsenal, we've had numerous quality players, and the whole squad had been very strong. It just seemed that in the big games we came up short sometimes, and you wonder why.
I always hear commentators talking about squads that have been around and that have won things; they always mention the experience of winning and knowing what it takes to win. They have only got that through winning trophies and winning competitions.
When I was in the GB Women's football team at the 2012 Olympics, it was obvious who was in the first XI and who was making up the numbers. Kelly Smith was going to be first-choice striker no matter what, and the other forwards in the squad mentally checked out as a result.
Alex Scott
I am determined to play for Arsenal and be in the squad of Unai Emery.
Alexandre Lacazette
All I want is to be just another member of the squad and fight for a place in the side.
Alvaro Morata
I have always said that it is fundamental to have a strong core of Italian players in a club squad. At AC Milan, we had that and we won. The same at Juventus.
Andrea Pirlo
I think it's hard for one coach to do all the formats all the time, and there are a limited number of coaches who have done the hard yards already. You can have head and assistant coaches for each squad.
Andrew Strauss
Only one player is not important. The most important thing is the squad, and it's important to be together. You can't just lose it over one player.
Antonio Conte
It is very difficult in the transfer market for the teams that need to improve their squads.
If you trust in an idea of football, and you trust in the team, it's important to have a squad with good balance.
When I was really little, I was on a Pop Warner squad. I did it for a year. My dad was a Pop Warner football coach. I did it because my best friend was also on this cheer squad, and of course I looked up to my sister who was a cheerleader, so I wanted to cheer.
Ashley Tisdale
I've always got that determination, to get back in the squad and get back playing.
I've shown I am deserving to be in the England squad, but I don't just want a place in the squad; I want to be in the team.
Well it was sent to me, well because almost everything that is written in Baltimore is sent to me. And David Simon, who was a writer for the Baltimore Sun, spent one year following the homicide squad in Baltimore and he chronicled that period of time.
You always need someone who's a part of your squad, and I felt that college basketball really helped with that - traveling together, studying together, and fighting the same battles together.
I was class president, on the cheerleading squad, in a competitive show choir, and in, like, six different clubs.
I'd seen Jose Padilha's 'Elite Squad 1' and '2', and I'd seen his documentary, 'Bus 174'.
I wanted to make something that reminded people of the way albums used to feel. I wanted something as good as the stuff put out by the Bomb Squad, or Dr. Dre and his production crew, or 'A Tribe Called Quest.' I miss albums like those.
When I was about 17 I was on the G.B. squad and that's where I wanted to be. I went to the Commonwealth Games and got silver there, but the three years I was on the team it was London-this, London-that. It was all preparation for the Olympics.
When you find out teams are interested in you weigh up the options. I looked at squads at the clubs, I looked at who was here and what style of football they play and what will suit me more.
I'm not silly enough to say I don't take note of what other strikers are doing. I was totally aware players were scoring that were in the squad - and of English players scoring who weren't in the squad.
My grandfather was a Tuskegee Airman. He flew with the 100th Fighter Squadron.
If I was a marginal guy or a practice squad player or a career-long special teamer, you take a hell of a lot less hits in those roles.
There's a teacher at the Renzo Gracie Academy in New York named John Danaher. He's leading this whole group of fighters named the Danaher Death Squad, and they're revolutionizing how that world works. I actually went and signed up for classes mostly because, man, if there's innovation like that happening in New York, I want to be around it.
I always have a bet at the start of each season, looking at the teams and the squads. I know there's a big element of unpredictability but if you've got your financial structure sorted out you've got a chance.
I have the quality and the experience and can give that little bit extra to the squad.
What matters is getting the best out of the squad you have.
You talk about demand, and these are big-name NBA players fighting for spots to be in the BIG3. So you gotta bring your game to make a squad, and that's what Ice Cube's envisioned when he started the BIG3.
When I joined there was probably one woman in the CID office and one in the crime squad and just two of us on a team of about 40 or 50 people.
The subject matter is very tricky. It's about the Munich massacre and what Mossad did afterwards with the assassination squads. I think it's a turning point in history, especially for the Palestinians.
When I was on the practice squad, it felt like I was just a guy who came in off the street three days a week to help actual NFL players get better. It was unsettling, unfulfilling and there were a few times when I wondered whether I would get my shot. But I kept showing up and kept competing. I was too stubborn to stop believing in myself.
You come in on practice squad and you know you're not going to play in the game, you know you're not going to get any reps. It's frustrating... you don't want to just practice your whole life. You want to practice to play.
I've got friends progressing into the England team and being in the squads. I'd like to think one day I'll have a shot at doing that.
At the age of 16, when I had my first traning session with the first-team squad, I came into the cabin and there stood Ribery and he said: 'Come here, sit down. Take the locker beside me.'
The season lasts a long time, and we need not only a high-level squad but also a big squad.
Getting into the senior squad was an important step for me. I can learn a lot, not only on the pitch but also in everyday life.
We have a great squad at Bayern Munich and our German players are very important for us - we know their qualities and they are hungry for success.
The Vlog Squad... We gotta change that name.
English football has just had a transfer window imposed for the first time, so it will be interesting to see how managers cope with the squads they have until it re-opens.
I grew up playing war. We threw dirt and rocks at each other. We'd lead attacks. We'd break up into squads. It became a neighborhood thing for a while, our neighborhood against the other neighborhood. There was always a war breaking out somewhere.
I had the opportunity to play in many fantastic squads. I won with great teams but also lost with great teams.
