Oldgregg86 3439 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) I remember Ron Atkinson saying “look at this lad here , he gets the ball and sold him a lollipop “” after someone did a step over trick/skill clough and Atkinson alone could have a 200 page book out with there quotes. All brilliant ? Edited August 10, 2020 by Oldgregg86 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RoverDom 1555 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Cant remember who it was, possibly michael owen when co-commentating was saying how one team needed to put pressure on the other and "force them to make those unforced errors" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oldjamfan1 4382 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 43 minutes ago, arbitro said: A lower league Scottish manager (Jim Lambie I think) had a reputation for quick wit. One of his players had gone down with a head injury and was brought off for treatment near the technical area. The manager asked the physio how he was and was told he didn't really know who he was. Quick as a flash he shouted "tell him he's Pele then and throw him back on". John Lambie. An absolute legend at Patrick Thistle Quote Link to post Share on other sites

renrag 751 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Another is the exchange between Shankly and Chris Lawler, apparently the quiet man at Anfield, Shankly was taking part in a 7 a side game with makeshift goals, Lawler was carrying an injury and was watching. The session had gone on for a while and the next goal was the winner. Shankly took a shot and an argument broke out whether it was a goal. When Lawler was asked to decide, he said sorry boss it was just wide. Shankly let rip “Bloody hell you never open your mouth for years and the first time you speak, you tell a bloody lie” Quote Link to post Share on other sites

simongarnerisgod 1561 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 ian holloway on qpr performance “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 weren’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” – on the “ugly” win against Chesterfield Quote Link to post Share on other sites
