weird or funny football quotes you remember (nb not famous ones)

Alan Shearer: "They love a goalscorer up north".

Ron Atkinson during World Cup 2002, after the anchor had gone on about keepers not liking the new ball. Ron went on a big tirade about how a ball is a ball etc, and ended it with "Keepers eh? If they were any good they'd be playing outfield."

Bill O'Herlihy in the last World Cup. "Yogi Loooove (short pause as he smiles.) I love saying that!"

Clive Tyldsley on Damien Duff, during Rep Ireland 1-1 Germany in 2002

"He could be the next George Best...he's not George Best of course - no-one is...and it's a different Ireland."

A run of beautifully absent-minded verbal self-destruction from the erstwhile big man whose pronouncements have typically been delivered with such irritating aplomb

wish I could remember the details of Alan Hansen using 'sublime' as a negative term. Sub-lime.

"Nicky Butt, he's another aptly named player. He joins things, brings one sentence to an end and starts another."

think steve m quoted that one before here, beyond belief. barry davies was it? i think i also recall steve claiming barry davies once referred to marc hottiger as "swiss", not like "he is swiss" but like silent the swiss for an entire game.
