" There was nothing like quietening that Kop. When you stuck a goal in there it all went quiet, apart from a bit of choice language aimed in your direction! Scoring there was a delight to me. I just used to turn round to the crowd and bow three times to them!"
Dean,Dixie

"To pit 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, you've done what you set out to do. We didn't look our best today but we've pulled. Some ways the lady is good looking and some weeks they're not. Our performance today would have been not the best looking bird but at least we got her in the taxi. She may not have been the best looking lady we ended up taking home but it was still very pleasant and very nice, so thanks very much and let's have coffee."
Holloway, Ian

"I have the ability to isolate myself from everything that goes on around me because my motivation has always come from inside. In football you cannot afford to get overwhelmed by euphoria or sadness, it is important to stay on an even keel."
Rijkaard,Frank

"Only by great risks can great results be achieved."
