19 Quotes by Charlie Austin

I've still got the hunger and yeah, a point to prove. Everybody loves playing in the Premier League, don't they?

I don't want to be a bit-part player, I want to be right in the mix with everybody else.

The play-offs are the sexy way to get promoted, playing in front of 90,000 people at Wembley, but you always want to do it automatically. If you come first or second, ultimately you've been better than the other teams over 46 games.

I'm a big, loud character and some people don't like that.

I went for a warm-up and got called back and the fans started singing my name when I was sat on the bench. I thought: 'Oh my god. There are 25,000 people in the ground and there are around 1,000 Swindon fans singing a 20-year-old's name that has just been working on a building site.'

People ask me for autographs now and I think to myself: 'Are you sure?'

My life had changed from being a bricklayer to a regular goalscorer in League One.

People ask me what it's like scoring a goal. Well, think of the best thing that could happen to you and times it by 10.

Sometimes people say to me that I celebrate over the top, but when you score, the emotion... you just can't control it. It's the same with owning a horse that wins.
