Apologies if this has been done before, but talking to a mate the other day discussing quotes from players and managers down the years, there's been some brilliant quotes.

This couple from George Best tickled me.

"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and cars, the rest i just squandered"

"I used to go missing a lot, Miss Canada, Miss United Kingdom, Miss World"

Get your thinking caps on.

"Walter Smith came into the dressing room wanting to talk to me, and he was f**king serious like, He grabbed me by the collar and said 'I've just seen a psychiatrist about you and there's nothing I can do about it. You're a genius. Now get the f**k out of my sight'" - Gazza.

Thanks for that mate, sat and watched the whole thing. What a character, what an idiot, but boy could he play football.

Just glad you enjoyed it mate. That feller near the beginning who said 'He's the best in the world. Honestly, the best in the world' - I think that's Jackie Milburn. Gazza was, for me, the best English all-round player I'd seen since Sir Tom Finney.

Like others before him, it is such a shame they never fulfilled their true potential.
 
The stand out one for me has to be Shankly. He was asked if he wanted to manage the biggest club in England and he asked if Matt (Busby) had resigned.
 
"If you want me to play for you, you would have to buy this club."

Paul Scholes' response to Massimo Moratti (President of Inter Milan). They'd given United a blank cheque and Scholes replied personally.
 
"Mario (Balotelli) got a yellow card in the 42nd minute, so when I got to the dressing room at half-time I spend about 14 minutes of the 15 available speaking only to Mario. I said to him: "Mario, I cannot change you, I have no strikers on the bench, so don't touch anybody and play only with the ball. If we lose the ball no reaction. If someone provokes you, no reaction, if the referee makes a mistake, no reaction."

"46th minute - red card"

Jose Mourinho on Mario Balotelli at Inter.
