Diego Maradona, avd. From the mouths of babes
:::

Paul Ince, avd. Guv’nor talar sig varm om the good old days.

“The problem with footballers is they really take themselves seriously. We kick a ball around and earn 100,000, 200,000, even 300,000 euros a week. We don’t improve the world. It’s not like we invented hot water.”
Benoit Assou-Ekotto, avd. Full of hot air
“If you pay them the wages they’ll come. We all kid ourselves: ‘I’ve wanted to play for Tottenham since I was two. I had pictures of Jimmy Greaves on my wall.’ It’s a load of bull. Here’s £80,000 a week. Lovely jubbly.”
Harry Redknapp, avd. Jaså, det är pengar som styr fotbollen!
