Heard a classic today. When Nigel Mansell left Williams Frank Williams said "Arrogant, conceited, brilliant - we might miss the driver but we won't miss the man" Also quite like the one which showed Mr Shankly in all his nasty, point scoring glory - "It's nice to see that more people are at Dixie dean's funeral than ever went to see him play at Goodison Park" Anyone else got any good ones?
Christy Ring "Keep your eye on the ball, even when its in the ref's pocket" "Small cut, big bandage. Big cut, no bandage" Kenyan Steeplechasers (saying) "Train hard, win easy" Sean Ãg hAilpÃn All Ireland Hurling Championship Cork Speech 2005 "Corcaigh Abu, Rebels Abu...........UP THE REBELS" Jake Lamotta "The three toughest fighters I've ever been up against were Sugar Ray Robinson, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Sugar Ray Robinson. I fought Sugar so many times, I'm surprized I'm not diabetic"
Don't know if it's true but so the story goes: Shankly giving the team talk before Liverpool face Man Utd and with a subuteo Man U team on the table: Picks up player and says "Charlton - too old", throws it on floor Picks up another, "Law - too small", throws it on floor Picks up another, "Best - too pissed", throws it on floor Then he swept the whole lot off the table and shouts "Rubbish!"
Strachan on Alex McLeish: "We even competed for the acne cream when we were younger. Obviously, I won that one..."
Bobby Moore to Gordan Banks after making that save. " For Gods sake Gordon try and keep hold of it". Said with a wry smile and a wink allegedly. If true that takes some beating.
I seen one where he ripped the rest of the United team apart, that left the three you mentioned, and he said sure beating 3 players is easy.
This is about the British philosopher A.J. Ayer ripping into Mike Tyson At a party that same year held by fashion designer Fernando Sanchez, Ayer, then 77, confronted Mike Tyson who was forcing himself upon the (then) little-known model Naomi Campbell. When Ayer demanded that Tyson stop, the boxer said: "Do you know who the **** I am? I'm the heavyweight champion of the world," to which Ayer replied: "And I am the former Wykeham Professor of Logic. We are both pre-eminent in our field. I suggest that we talk about this like rational men". Ayer and Tyson then began to talk, while Naomi Campbell slipped out.
