SPORTS QUOTES

What are your favourite quotes by sportspeople/pundits?

 

Here are a couple of mine:

 

'I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father' - Greg Norman

 

'The drivers have one foot on the brake, one on the clutch and one on the throttle' - Bob Varsha

 

And one that's a little more serious:

 

'I believe that a superstar is a reflection of what he does. If his presence makes the difference on the pitch, if he defines a game, if he stands out from other players - that's the difference.' - Ronaldo

 

Yours?

Float like a butterfly sting like a bee – his hands can’t hit what his eyes can’t see.”

- Muhammad Ali

 

When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.

- Eric Cantona

 

With Half The Race Gone, There Is Half The Race Still To Go

- Former F1 commentator Murray Walker

 

 

 

Another I've thought of:

 

“The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning.” - Pelé

Ian Holloway on CR7:

 

“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 c***’s massive.”

A couple from Brian Clough

 

"I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one"

 

And, when asked how he handled a player who disagreed with him,...

 

“We talk about it for 20 minutes and then we decide I was right”
