Martin O’Neill,
standing, hands on

He caught that with the
outside of his instep.

George Hamilton

My legs sort of disappeared
from nowhere.

Chris Waddle

Once again it was Gough who
stood firm for Scotland in the air.

Jock Brown

 

With the very last
kick of the game,
MacDonald scored
with a header.

Allan Parry

We have to roll up our sleeves
and get our knees dirty.

Howard Wilkinson

I can count on the fingers of
one hand ten games where we’ve
caused our own downfall.

Joe Kinnear

In the last ten minutes of the match
I was breathing out of my arse.

Clinton Morrison

He shook hands with
us over the phone.

Alan Ball

Here at Old Trafford they reckon
Bestie had double-jointed ankles.

Alex Ferguson on George Best

Celtic manager Davie Hay has a
fresh pair of legs up his sleeve.

John Greig

I’d have to be deaf not to
read the allegations.

Bobby Downes

What he’s got is legs, which the
other midfielders don’t have.

That’s not the type of header
you want to see your defender
make with his hand.
