Loved the quote when after criticising an England performance Alf Ramsey asked him what qualifications he had to speak and how much managerial experience he had. None, he replied, but if I sent a turnip round the world it wouldn't come back an expert on geography.

As for his description of George Best you don't see that sort of thing nowadays ""The bewildering repertoire of feints and swerves, sudden stops and demoralising spurts, exploited a freakish elasticity of limb and torso, tremendous physical strength and resilience for so slight a figure and balance that would have made Isaac Newton decide he might as well have eaten the apple."
