I think the stereotype about footballers being badly dressed is unfair.

Daniel Sturridge

There is an expectation that if you do sport, any sport, you should never have a life outside that. People expect you to just train, play, train. But that's not me.

Daniel Sturridge

I loved drama class at school. I never took it seriously, as I was playing football. But maybe when I retire, I'll have a dabble.

Daniel Sturridge

Every man needs a good pair of jeans. It's the ultimate wardrobe staple because most of us wear them more than anything else.

Daniel Sturridge

As a footballer, you're stuck in a uniform - either in team kit or a team suit. I don't really get to show my personality in my job, so style is a chance to show people part of me they don't often see.

Daniel Sturridge

My dad's view about coaching was that you have to express yourself. When I was young at academies, I wasn't allowed to do that.

Daniel Sturridge

People think I got loads of money at City and then left for Chelsea to chase more money. I didn't get that money. I moved to Chelsea because they made promises to me. They told me I would get opportunities, I would play and that they believed in me as a young player.

Daniel Sturridge

I watch all my goals before every game on the coach.

Daniel Sturridge

I watch stuff over five times. I'll watch the same person over five, 10 times.

Daniel Sturridge

I remember when I was at Chelsea, and Ancellotti used to say, 'Watch a DVD of Inzaghi' - movement in terms of runs in behind and what makes strikers score goals.

Daniel Sturridge

Inzaghi was one that I really liked to watch because he was completely different to how I played, but he gave me something I didn't have and actually helped me out a lot. Probably a lot of the goals I score now have come from him.

Going away to West Brom, I learned, too. You learn things about football. You learn about yourself. You get to assess the situation from the outside, looking in.

Daniel Sturridge

When you're on the inside, there's no other perspective but what you see on the inside. When you're on the outside, you get to look at things a little differently: how you can help, how you can fit in, how you can do certain things differently.

Daniel Sturridge

I feel like, in football, you always have to prove yourself as well. The past is in the past. Last season was last season.

Daniel Sturridge

Things have evolved, and footballers pay a lot more attention to how they dress and how they groom themselves because of social media. So they'll be on Instagram or Twitter, and I think it's one of those things - you're in the public eye more, probably, than playing football on television, and your lifestyle at home is broadcast.

Daniel Sturridge

I like to feel comfortable in what I'm wearing, so I do wear a lot of sportswear. Not football training stuff, but mostly casual tracksuits and T-shirts.

Daniel Sturridge

I do believe a haircut makes you play better - I've experienced that before. I think it's confidence, it's routine, and it can also be superstition. Just like if you do your hair, it's not quite done right, and you have a bad day, you're not going to do that again the next day.

Daniel Sturridge

Grooming in football is quite big. I'm somebody that brings my Boss Bottled Unlimited to training or in my washbag, and I've put a few of my teammates onto that.

Daniel Sturridge

My job is to go on the pitch and put my best foot forward.

Daniel Sturridge

It's not easy anywhere in the world for a young player to get opportunities at a big club.
