could not leave out the Guvnor himself Brian Clough:
“They say Rome wasn't built in a day, but I wasn't on that particular job.”
“When I go, God's going to have to give up his favourite chair.”
"Walk on water? I know most people out there will be saying that instead of walking on it, I should have taken more of it with my drinks. They are absolutely right."
"The ugliest player I ever signed was Kenny Burns."
“I've decided to pick my moment to retire very carefully - in about 200 years time.”
"I only ever hit Roy [Keane] the once. He got up so I couldn't have hit him very hard"
"I like my women to be feminine, not sliding into tackles and covered in mud."
"That Seaman is a handsome young man but he spends too much time looking in his mirror rather than at the ball. You can't keep goal with hair like that"
"If I had an argument with a player we would sit down for twenty minutes, talk about it and then decide I was right”
"I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one"
"If God had wanted us to play football in the clouds, he'd have put grass up there"
“No cheating bastards will I talk to; I will not talk to any cheating bastards!”
