inspirational football player
It was the most emphatic display of selflessness I have seen on a football field. Pounding over every blade of grass, competing if he would rather die of exhaustion than lose, he inspired all around him. I felt such an honor to be associated with such a player.
inspirational wind alex
I remember the first time I saw him. He was 13 and just floated over the ground like a cockier spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind.
years trophies manchester-united
There is no evidence that changing your managers repeatedly leads to success, but there is evidence at Manchester United, I was managing there for 26 years I won 38 trophies.

If I have my health I can carry on. There will be a point when I do quit but I have absolutely no idea when that is.

They say he's an intelligent man, right? Speaks five languages! I've got a 15-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast who speaks five languages!

I can't believe it. I can't believe it. Football. Bloody hell.

I've never played for a draw in my life.
inspirational champion alex
Only true champions come out and show their worth after defeat- and I expect us to do that.

You never know what can happen in football. Chelsea could slip up and if they do we want to be the team that's next to them.

This is good for football. Burton have done the Conference proud.
chelsea liverpool losing needed point tough
After losing to Liverpool and Blackburn it was going to be very tough today. Chelsea only needed a point and they got it.
fortune goal good nice second
I think the first goal was a nice one-two with good play from Ruud and Quinton Fortune but that second goal was superb.

I think that early goal helped Celtic a lot. We looked all right at times, but we need to make some changes.

It gives me an opportunity to use all my squad. Keeping players happy is not easy and I think anyone with a big squad will tell you that.
