Who said "Liverpool are magic .... Everton are tragic." In what circumstances?.

Who said "I love tackling. It's better than sex."

Who said "England have the best fans in the world and Scotland's fans are second to none."


Name the players and the team they played for?

Kevin "I'd looove it" Keegan. Liverpool.

Emlyn Hughes. After Liverpool beat Everton in an FA Cup Semi-Final Replay.

'The Guvnor' Paul Ince. Liverpool or Boro at the time.

If I could...I'll give four of my own:

Who said "Living in the Italy was like living in a foreign country".

Who said "I'm not sure Michael Owen is a natural-born goalscorer."

Who said "The 33 or 34-year-olds will be 36 or 37 by the time the next World Cup comes around, if they're not careful."

And lastly: Perhaps the easiest question ever: "Some people are on the pitch...they think it's all over...IT IS NOW".

" Living in Italy is like Living in a foreign country. It was Ian Rush.

"I'm not sure Michael Owen is a natural born goalscore" Was that Glen Hoddle?.

"The 33 or 34 year olds will be 36 or 37 by the time the next World Cup comes around, if they're not careful." Was I think Kevin Keegan.

"The 33 or 34 year olds will be 36 or 37 by the time the next World Cup comes around, if they're not careful." Was not as easy as I first thought, I watch the moment on TV, I think it was Kenneth Wolsenholme.

************************************************** *********************

"It gets like this in ** when you're on the ferry and the sun reflects off the **."

"He's a vain bastard, I thought he was going to tell me that he was having a nose job."

"** without European football is like a banquet without wine."

"Sometimes I feel I'm hardly wanted in this ** team. If I get two or three saves to make I've had a busy day."

Name the people who made these quotes, and also the team.

Take no notice of nunber of stars.

Bump.

3. "They thought I was going to change it lock, stock and barrel. They were shrewd because that's exactly what I would have done"

1. "I think this could be our best victory over Germany since the war" John Motson

2. "In some ways having cramp is worse than a broken leg" Ah, good old Keegan (showing why he should never have got the england job.

3. "They thought I was going to change it lock, stock and barrel. They were shrewd because that's exactly what I would have done" Brian Clough explains why he didn't get the England job.

One man said the following. As you can see from these examples, he's a man well known for having a wonderful way with words:

"If Glenn Hoddle said one word to his team at half time, it was concentration and focus."

"I never comment on referees and I'm not going to break the habit of a lifetime for that prat."

"You can see the ball go past them, or the man, but you'll never see both man and ball go past at the same time. So if the ball goes past, the man won't, or if the man goes past, they'll take the ball."

While we are on football quotes, have a read of a few of these amazing Holloway quotes. Some are better than others

• "It's like the film Men in Black. I walk around in a black suit, white shirt and black tie where I've had to flash my white light every now and again to erase some memories, but I feel we've got hold of the galaxy now. It's in our hands."
  - Holloway on QPR's financial situation.

• "It was lucky that the linesman wasn't stood in front of me as I would have poked him with a stick to make sure he was awake."
  - Holloway states his opinion about the linesman's performance in a game against Bristol City.

• "I call us the Orange club - because our future's bright!"
  - on QPR's potential.

• "It's all very well having a great pianist playing but it's no good if you haven't got anyone to get the piano on the stage in the first place, otherwise the pianist would be standing there with no bloody piano to play."
  - after being criticised for using defensive players in midfield.

• "I am a football manager. I can't see into the future. Last year I thought I was going to Cornwall on my holidays but I ended up going to Lyme Regis."
  - asked whether QPR would be able to beat Manchester City.

• "To put 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, some weeks they're good looking and some weeks they're not the best. Our performance today would have been not the best looking bird but at least we got her in the taxi. She weren't the best looking lady we ended up taking home but she was very pleasant and very nice, so thanks very much, let's have a coffee"
  - on the "ugly" win against Chesterfield.

• "You can say that strikers are very much like postmen: they have to get in and out as quick as they can before the dog starts to have a go."

• "I always say that scoring goals is like driving a car. When the striker is going for goal, he's pushing down that accelerator, so the rest of the team has to come down off that clutch. If the clutch and the accelerator are down at the same time, then you are going to have an accident."

• "I've got to knock that horrible smell out of my boys, because they smell of complacency."

• "Every dog has its day, and today is woof day! Today I just want to bark!"
  - Holloway after securing promotion to the Championship.

• "When my wife first saw Marc for the first time, she said he was a fine specimen of a man. She says I have nothing to worry about, but I think she wants me to buy her a QPR shirt with his name on the back for Christmas."
  - on QPR's new Danish striker Marc Nygaard.

• "Paul Furlong is my vintage Rolls Royce and he cost me nothing. We polish him, look after him, and I have him fine tuned by my mechanics. We take good care of him because we have to drive him every day, not just save him for weddings."
  - on veteran striker Paul Furlong.

• "We need a big, ugly defender. If we had one of them we'd have dealt with County's first goal by taking out the ball, the player and the first three rows of seats in the stands."
  - after a defeat against Notts County.

• "You never count your chickens before they hatch. I used to keep parakeets and I never counted every egg thinking I would get all eight birds. You just hoped they came out of the nest box looking all right. I'm like a swan at the moment. I look fine on top of the water but under the water my little legs are going mad."

• "There was a spell in the second half when I took my heart off my sleeve and put it in my mouth."

• "I don't see the problem with footballers taking their shirts off after scoring a goal? They enjoy it and the young ladies enjoy it too. I suppose thats one of the main reasons women come to football games, to see the young men take their shirts off. Of course they'd have to go and watch another game because my lads are as ugly as sin."
  - Ian Holloway about the new rule restricting footballers from removing their shirts during a match.
• "I call us the Orange club - because our future's bright!"
  - on QPR's potential.

• "It's all very well having a great pianist playing but it's no good if you haven't got anyone to get the piano on the stage in the first place, otherwise the pianist would be standing there with no bloody piano to play."
  - after being criticised for using defensive players in midfield.

• "I am a football manager. I can't see into the future. Last year I thought I was going to Cornwall on my holidays but I ended up going to Lyme Regis."
  - asked whether QPR would be able to beat Manchester City.

While we are on football quotes, have a read of a few of these amazing Holloway quotes. Some are better than others

Holloway is always good comedy value. A lot like Gordon Strachan. When Cantona came back from his ban, offering the media the superb "When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea", Strachan's response was: "When he says that, he's a philosopher. If I'd said it, I'd just be some Scottish bum talking crap".

Cantona's comment was fanststic. The media are often guilty of digging for juicy stuff, regardless of whether it is in anyone's best interests but their own. So for Eric to return from 9 months in the wilderness, and for the media to be eagerly anticipating a detailed conference about what had happened, how he felt about his actions and his treatment, and how he would approach the future, for him to turn it back on them in such a way was highly amusing.
