When you can score three goals without the most prolific scorer in the world, you know you have a lot of depth, and it gives you confidence.
Abby Wambach
Obviously this all-time leading scorer thing I knew was out there and I thought, 'Man, if I stay healthy, I would like to reach that goal.'
Adam Vinatieri
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
OK - we like to say how a striker creates space and influences matches in other ways, but let's not pretend: at the end of the season, the best striker everyone talks about is the top scorer.
Alvaro Morata
Obviously I'm not the greatest scorer in the world or the greatest shooter in the world, but I'm tough and rebounding is something that not too many people want to put the effort into doing.
Andre Drummond
I've never told anyone, but my ambition is to become the leading all-time scorer of free kicks in Serie A.
Andrea Pirlo
I must continue to work hard in training. I need to think more like a goal scorer; sometimes I get so immersed in the game because I love general play so much.
Anthony Martial
I'm not a goalscorer. It's not my job. Everyone always tells me I've never scored. I don't think I've had a shot.
Ashley Cole
Goal scorers are always sniffing things out, but once they realize 'hey, if I don't have the puck I can't score,' then you have to be a part of the solution so you can get it back so you can score.
Barry Trotz
At Barcelona from the early days I was seen as a goalscorer. Going somewhere else for a while has shown me I can enjoy games from a perspective other than just scoring goals.
Bojan Krkic
I am a striker, a goalscorer. That is my art.
Carlos Tevez
I was, in my first season, second top scorer, which is something people forget.
You can't say, 'You're a scorer, you score. You rebound, you rebound.' Basketball is more than that. Basketball is knowing the next step, knowing the next play, knowing how to make things happen.
Charles Oakley
My life had changed from being a bricklayer to a regular goalscorer in League One.
Charlie Austin
As a goal scorer, my focus is always on converting my chances and being clinical in the box. That's my No. 1 priority.
Christen Press
If you're a better scorer than me, I'll put you down on the block; you score. I don't care. I can do other things.
David Robinson
It's always a tough process when you're always the best guy on your team, in high school, in middle school, AAU and things like that. Then you come together, and you may not be the best guy on the team. You may have to adjust. You may not be a go to scorer. You may have to be a picker. You may have to be a rebounder.
DeAndre Jordan
My best years were 2010 and 2011, and the 2010 World Cup was the most incredible experience. Our tiny nation reached the semi-finals, I finished joint-top scorer in South Africa, and my goal against Germany was voted the best of the tournament. I was also named the best player of that World Cup.
Diego Forlan
I was the Premier League's top goal scorer in 2010-11 and never wanted to be on the bench.
Dimitar Berbatov
I was an all-around player - if I was just a scorer, there's no way the Hawks would have won 50 games four years in a row.
Dominique Wilkins
I've never been a scorer in my life.
Me, all-time topscorer - who would have thought that when I signed for Napoli?
My first three years at United were pretty much flawless. In the first we won the treble and I finished top scorer: I was walking on cloud nine. I came back the next year and scored 26 goals.
It never became an obsession for me to score at all costs. I've always said that I'm not a big scorer, I'm a worker.
Paul George is just a gifted guy that has versatility that no one else in the league has - in terms of playing ones, twos of threes, and really just blanket another team's top perimeter scorer.
It would be spectacular if I could be the top scorer and win the World Cup with Argentina.
You go around the world, and you say, 'I'm the top scorer for the Argentina national team.' I liked that.
In my day, I wasn't the best footballer, but I was the best goalscorer for two or three years.
Personal records are not what football is all about, but as goalscorers, we live and die by figures and numbers because, ultimately, that's how people will judge you.
You always spend a little more time watching the guys you coached, to see how they're playing. And there's no question that when I check scores, I still go to the Nuggets scorer faster than any other scores. I have a lot of love for the players and a lot of love for the city.
It is a pleasure to see Leo, an Argentine, as the top scorer in the Champions League.
I've always been a scorer. So when I went to Arizona, I led the team in scoring both years.
When you're a scorer, you are thinking about scoring, and everything comes easy.
I'm a scorer. I score in volumes.
It's not my goal to be the main scorer. It's whatever the opponent gives.
When you talk about those Liverpool greats, they had players who won everything. Some great team men, great goalscorers, longevity.
All goalscorers go on droughts. It is how you cope with that. And it is not just about scoring, it is about what you bring to the team, bringing others into play and getting assists.
Dave Mackay was one of the best I've ever seen. Jimmy Greaves was the greatest goal scorer, and George Best was just the best. The greatest.
Every team needs goalscorers, attacking players, players who can sweep up the ball, but every team needs that someone who can be the link between defence and attack. The greatest teams always have that sort of player.
I have one regret that whenever I look at the list of world's leading scorers, I don't see any Pakistani who has scored 10,000 Test runs; even I couldn't do it ,nor Muhammad Yousuf.
I think there's a role for everybody. Even a guy who's not known as a scorer, like a DeAndre Jordan - he sets the best screens, he blocks the most shots, he gets the most rebounds, he's great for your team, he helps you win games. Like, he helps you win big.
When you bring one of your top scorers, your top players off the bench, it really gives your team balance.
When I was a little kid I used to play with guys twice my age, so, I was the last one picked, so if I picked I knew that I had to get the ball to the scorer if I wanted to stay on the court, so that was pretty much my job.
I came in the league as not a shooter, not a scorer. My game was to play defense and make my teammates better. The most important stat to me was that left column - winning. Nothing else matters.
I was a scorer in college. That was the one thing that I loved to do, I loved to score the basketball.
Players don't change drastically. Maybe they get more in form if they're a goal scorer, or they get healthier if they've been injured.
Great scorers tend to think they can score against anybody.
Eric Gordon is a great scorer.
I knew that to be successful, I had to be more than a scorer. I had to become a leader. It's not about scoring. It's about doing what my team needs me to do.
I'm just going to do my job, what coach wants me to do, be a defensive piece, and when needed to be a scorer, I'm going to be that.
