This from Rodney Marsh has to be up there for me:
Sir Alf Ramsey told him "I'll be watching you for the first 45 minutes and if you don't work harder I'll pull you off at half time," to which Marsh replied: "Crikey, Alf, at Manchester City all we get is an orange and a cup of tea".
Excellent. |  |

I like that one but going further back I love Bill Shankly when(supposedly) asked "What would you do if Jesus came to Liverpool?" and his reply was "Move St. John to inside left".
There are loads attributed to Bill Shankly but not sure how many are actual quotes and how many are sort of What Shankly might have said.
I think when they signed Ronnie Yeats he invited reporters to "have a walk around my new centre half". |  | | |

Cantona
Eric Cantona footballing genius, poet and cod philosopher king was as gnomic as a sphinx yesterday morning after winning his appeal against a two-week prison sentence for kicking an abusive footballer spectator in the chest in January.
On learning that he would, instead, be spending 120 hours of community service teaching Manchester youngsters how to play football he broke his silence and made one delphic utterance to the assembled media.
"When seagulls follow the trawler it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea," he said darkly before striding out of the press conference.

Bobby "I wonder where that has come from?"
Patrick "Out of the bloody sky you great c**t". |
'That's the king you c...' |  |

Unfortunately Rodney Marsh is a prize prick and that story almost definitely didn't happen.
Harry Redknapp on - I can't remember, could it have been Gio??
"If he could pass a bar as well as he could pass a ball then he would be the finished article" |  |

He's not a fan of Posh Spice then. |
When Ali G interviewed Posh and Becks ages ago, he asked: "Do you want Brooklyn to grow up to be a footballer like his dad, or a singer, like Mariah Carey?"
I also enjoyed Porno Paul's "World-beater or panel-beater" line on JET. | |
