    "To put it in gentleman's terms if you've been out for a night and you're looking for a young lady and you pull one, some weeks they're good looking and some weeks they're not the best. Our performance today would have been not the best looking bird but at least we got her in the taxi. She wasn't the best looking lady we ended up taking home but she was very pleasant and very nice, so thanks very much, let's have a coffee"

    Holloway on the "ugly" win against Chesterfield

  • “He’s six foot something, fit as a flea, good looking – he’s got to have something wrong with him.

    Hopefully he’s hung like a hamster – That would make us all feel better.

    Having said that, me missus has got a pet hamster at home, and his cock’s massive.” - Ian Holloway On Cristiano Ronaldo.

    My favorite sporting quote was not from football. It was from NBA basketball.
    It was Indiana Pacers vs another team in their equivalent semi finals and Gary Peyton
    had thrown an almost "hail mary" shot to win the game. The commentator said the
    word "UNBELIEVABLE" but it was more like "UN BELEEEEEEEEE VA BLE!!!!!!!! Sent goosebumps
    through your whole body!

    Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

    I thought that, but then the title of the thread isn't 'your favourite sporting quote that hasn't already been mentioned' or 'let's have long list of different quotes, whether you like them or not'. ;-)

    Agree Saga and that quote is so often retold it's old hat. Quite like the story Ron Yeates tells about Shankly during a half time hairdrier session where Tony Hateley was the target basically Shankly implied he was f*****g useless to which Hateley said:

    "Fair enough boss but you have to admit I am good in air" and in a heartbeat Shankly said

    "So was Douglas Bader and he had two better feet than you"

    Could be an urban myth but as I always say never let the truth spoil a good story

  • Hmmmm.. have a vague recollection of this on one of the old Charlton 'highlights' video's.. "What does Leaburn have to do to score... apart from the one he's already got..."
  • My favourite player when I first got in to football was Peter Shilton, which is odd as Italy 90 was the tournament which got me in to football! I think the late great Sir Bobby Robson sums him up best.

    "Peter Shilton is Peter Shilton, and he has been since day dot."

    "when I see the arsenal goalie dancing like a fool before me penalty, I decide I going to make you look vary vary silly".

    Or words to that effect.

    "A Premiership club's going to win it why not us?"

    Curbishley LC

    A non-footballing one re the late Harry Pilling who was 5' 3" tall:

    ..."In the John Player League competition, with innings of 40 overs, Pilling was the first batsman to register 1,000 runs. He confessed to an interviewer that his "greatest kick" came from hitting a fast bowler for six. And he recalled Kent fast bowler Alan Brown's frustration when refused an lbw appeal against him: "Too high? If it hit him on the head it still would have hit the wicket."....
