Marcus Rashford was born on October 31, 1997, and is a professional footballer in England. He is a forward for Premier League club Manchester United and the England national team. And his football career began when he was seven years old, with two goals on his first-team debut in 2016.
Marcus has been an inspiration to many, on and off the field. He has been a great ambassador of change. Everyone, even Manchester United haters respect him for what he’s done for the community in England. He is someone people should listen to, as whenever he speaks, there is some valuable knowledge for the listener.
Here are some of his famous quotes:
“For me, sometimes it’s more important to perform well in training and know that I am improving rather than scoring in a game. It’s doing the hard work, day in, day out.”
“As many of you know, as lockdown hit and schools were temporarily closed, I partnered with food distribution charity FareShare to help cover some of the free school meal deficit. Whilst the campaign is currently distributing three million meals a week to those most vulnerable across the UK, I recognise it’s just not enough. This is not about politics; this is about humanity. Looking at ourselves in the mirror and feeling like we did everything we could to protect those who can’t, for whatever reason or circumstance, protect themselves. Political affiliations aside, can we not all agree that no child should be going to bed hungry?”
“The man you see stood in front of you today is a product of her (his mom) love and care. I have friends who are from middle-class backgrounds who have never experienced a small percentage of the love I have gotten from my mum: a single parent who would sacrifice everything she had for our happiness. THESE are the kind of parents we are talking about. Parents who work every hour of the day for minimum wage, most of them working in hospitality, a sector which has been locked down for months.”
“Thierry Henry is one of my heroes; he is one of the players I watched when I was younger. When I was 17, I changed position to be a forward, and he, along with the Brazilian Ronaldo, were the two players I tried to mirror my performance on, so I would watch how they scored goals.”
So there you have it: some of the most powerful quotes that have been said by Marcus Rashford. It is certainly good for our children today to have sports stars to look up to and Marcus is one of those stars who is an inspiration to many.
