Here are some interesting quotes from people from the game. Though some have a serious content, the quotes have a humerous content.

1

 “Age does not count. It's what you know about football that matters. I know I am better than the 500 or so managers who have been sacked since the war. If they had known anything about the game, they wouldn't have lost their jobs”

Brian Clough on becoming Hartlepools United's manager
in 1965

 “All the fun seems to have gone out of football today. Once Derby were 3-0 down against Oldham and diving into the Second Division. I'd fallen back to help our defence and someone played the ball out of our penalty area to me. I took it up and was just looking up to see what to do when a voice from the crowd shouted: ‘Shoot, George!'. Then a voice boomed back from another section of the terracing ‘Why pick on George? Why not shoot the bloody lot?”

George Thornwell,
Derby County player

 “Hump it, bump it, whack it. That may be a recipe for a good sex life, but it won't win us the world cup”

Ken Bates, Chelsea Chairman after England failed to qualify for the 1994 world cup under Graham Taylor

 “If god had meant football to be played in the air, he'd have put grass in the sky”

Brian Clough, Nottingham Forest Manager

5

 “We have learned to bawl ‘Get rid of it' just as the mob in the French Revolution bawled ‘To the Guillotine'. And our get-rid-of-it addicts successfully sent our soccer to the football guillotine”

Neil Franklin, Former England Defender

 “Strictly off the record, no comment”–Colin Murphy

Lincoln City Manager,1983

 I got the ball in the middle of the field and a voice out of the centre stand shouted out ‘give it to Taylor '. So I gave it to Taylor . Five minutes afterwards, I got the ball again in the middle of the field and the same voice shouted, ‘Give it to Matthews'. So I gave it to Matthews. A couple of minutes later, I got the ball again, but this time there were three Arsenal players around me so I looked up at the stand and a voice came back, ‘Use your own discretion'

Stan Mortensen,
Blackpool and England

 "....and the news from Guadalajara where the temperature is 96 degrees, is that Falcao is warming up."

Brian Moore
