If you don't play well, people don't watch the game, but if you have scored, your name flashes up; it doesn't matter how you've played. So as a striker, that is what I've got to try to do - make sure I score - and if you're doing that, you're also helping the team.

We have to try to be positive now and look to the future and think positive things: then positive things will happen.

Nobody in the footballing world got here by having it handed to them.

Patrick Bamford

I want to play for Chelsea. I hope I do get that chance, and I think I can compete.

Patrick Bamford

I went home every night wondering how to get in the Burnley team. It was, 'You've been brought up nicely, had everything handed to you.' Is that what people think just because I went to private school and played instruments?

Patrick Bamford

The thought of playing in Spain did whet my appetite - playing in a new country and everything that comes with it.

Patrick Bamford

My dream was to play for Chelsea - maybe I was bit naive.

Patrick Bamford

I did French, history, biology, chemistry, and general studies at A level.

Patrick Bamford

I got a phone call from David Moyes: he was interested in me going out to Real Sociedad, and I was quite keen on the idea if I didn't get the Premier League club that I wanted. Going abroad appealed to me.

Patrick Bamford

There's a massive difference between playing Under-21 football and being on the bench at Chelsea, and playing every week in a league where you are playing for people's livelihoods and helping to pay their mortgages.

Patrick Bamford

Relegation hurts, of course. It's one of the things that you will keep forever. But you have to move on as soon as you can.

Patrick Bamford

As long as I can keep pushing on and climbing the ladder, then that's good.

Patrick Bamford

I did an A/S in economics once I had left school and was in my second year as a scholar at Nottingham Forest. I did that to keep me stimulated.

Patrick Bamford

In my head, if I don't get a shot at Chelsea, personally, I think I will have failed.

Patrick Bamford

My parents never let me have everything.

Patrick Bamford

If you are doing well, then your name is always bandied about.

Patrick Bamford

If I started something, I had to finish. Like with violin. I started when I was seven only because my best mate wanted to. I hated it and wanted to quit, but Dad made me continue, and I got to grade seven. My parents said I had to know the value of stuff and work for stuff.

Patrick Bamford

I don't have any reason not to be at Chelsea. It is my dream to put on that blue shirt and play for them eventually.

Patrick Bamford

At a club like Chelsea, they have the money to buy world class strikers like Diego Costa, and there's also that pressure to win trophies. I just have to stick with it, be patient, and hopefully my rewards will come.

Patrick Bamford

Even though I was sent to private school, it was purely because mum and dad wanted the best for me, and they worked their socks off in order to be able to give me that.

Patrick Bamford

After football, ideally I want to take Gary Lineker's job, but we'll see about that. I'd love to do that, present 'Match of the Day.'
