football games people
I was in the game for the love of football - and I wanted to bring back happiness to the people of Liverpool.
football anfield england
It's to remind our lads who they're playing for, and to remind the opposition who they're playing against. (on the 'This Anfield' plaque)
england british isle
He's not just the best centre-forward in the British Isles, but the only one. (about Ian St John)
team play worry
Don't worry, Alan. At least you'll be able to play close to a great team. (to Alan Ball, who'd just signed for Everton)
football player men
If he isn't named footballer of the year, football should be stopped and the men who picked any other player should be sent to Kremlin. (on Tommy Smith)
mean anfield i-can
The very word 'Anfield' means more to me than I can describe.
life-is
My life is my work. My work is my life
play goal defense
With him in defense, we could play Arthur Askey in goal. (after signing Ron Yeats)
football jobs home
I’ve been a slave to football. It follows you home, it follows you everywhere, and eats into your family life. But every working man misses out on some things because of his job.
writing should-have clubs
I have been received more warmly by Everton than I have by Liverpool. It is scandalous that I should have to write these things about the club that I helped build into what it is today.
eye men games
I've had many skilful men and the likes of Peter Thompson, Ian St John, Kevin Keegan and Steve Heighway were the ones who caught the eye. But the best professional of the lot was Gerry Byrne. He wasn't flashy and he wouldn't score you goals. But he was hard and skilful and gave you everything he had. More than that he was totally honest. Which is the greatest quality of all. He was a true Liverpudlian who couldn't look his fellow Scousers in the face after a game unless he'd given everything he had for 90 minutes.
red mao shows
Chairman Mao has never seen a greater show of red strength.
team mars want
I want to build a team that's invincible, so that they have to send a team from bloody Mars to beat us.
thinking people kind
I’m just one of the people who stands on the Kop. They think the same as I do, and I think the same as they do. It’s a kind of marriage of people who like each other.
