"I've still got the qualities I had in the Premier League for the past 10 years," "It shows, because every single manager was putting a contract in front of me once I trained with them. But there were managers and clubs who refused to look at me because of what happened - the accident, the injury. Some owners went against it. In football, the manager can want you, but it's the owner's money.” "My agent kept calling clubs, and the same thing happened - clubs wanted me to train first. With the ego I had, I said 'I'm not coming to train. You've seen me play with Jamaica, you've seen my past 10 years. I shouldn't have to train to get a contract.' Clubs said 'if you don't train, we won't sign you'.” "After staying at West Ham, training with the under-21s and going away with Jamaica again, my agent said 'you're going to have to train, prove your fitness.' I had to swallow my ego - that's how I ended up at Brentford. I trained with them for two weeks." Antonio says he still has "so much love" for West Ham, for whom he played 323 games and became our all‑time Premier League top scorer with 68 goals, but was disappointed he did not get the chance of even a final substitute appearance in a home friendly. He says he ultimately was not wanted by then manager Graham Potter and describes his exit in August as "a hard pill to take".
