Sir Alex Ferguson

Sir Alex Ferguson

I don't think I could have a higher opinion of any footballer than I already had of the Irishman, but he rose even further in my estimation at the Stadio Delle Alpi. The minute he was booked and out of the final he seemed to redouble his efforts to get the team there. It was the most emphatic display of selflessness I have seen on a football field. Pounding over every blade of grass, competing if he would rather die of exhaustion than lose he inspired all around him. I felt it was an honour to be associated with such a player.

(on Roy Keane in the match Juventus 1999)

Sir Alex Ferguson

When an Italian tells me its pasta on the plate I check under the sauce to make sure. They are the inventors of the smokescreen.

some bobby robson quotes

"Manchester United dropped points, Liverpool dropped points, Chelsea dropped points, Everton dropped points, so in a way we haven't lost anything at all really, although we dropped all three."

"I'm not going to look beyond the semi-final - but I would love to lead Newcastle out at the final."

"We can't replace Gary Speed. Where do you get an experienced player like him with a left foot and a head?"

"Gary Speed has never played better, never looked fitter, never been older."

?Alan Shearer has done very well for us, considering his age. We have introduced some movement into his game because he has got two good legs now. Last season he played with one leg.?

?Well, we got nine and you can't score more than that.?

They're two points behind us, so we're neck and neck.?

?We didn't underestimate them. They were a lot better than we thought.?

?Ray Wilkins? day will come one night.?

?I played cricket for my local village. It was 40 overs per side, and the team that had the most runs won. It was that sort of football.?

?In a year?s time, he?s a year older.?

?Look at those olive trees! They?re 200 years old ? from before the time of Christ.?
