"If a Frenchman goes on about seagulls, trawlers and sardines, he’s called a philosopher. I’d just be called a short Scottish bum talking crap." Gordon Strachan in response to Cantona's famous quote following the 1995 Crystal Palace-Simmons incident.

Lol. Quite funny.

[Jazz 16]

Brilliant Cantona quotes, classic Cantona, what a man.

"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered"

"Terry I like screwing"

-The great George best

[RedForceRising]

"He cannot kick with his left foot, he cannot head a ball, he cannot tackle and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that he's all right."
- George Best
Assessment of Manchester United's David Beckham


"In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol and it was the worst 20 minutes of my life."
- George Best

Georgie Best:

"In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol. It was the worst 20 minutes of my life."

But this one I think came from the heart

"When I die I'd like to be remembered as the greatest footballer of all time. When that day comes, they won't talk about the booze, the women, the fast cars. They'll talk about the football"

And I can't believe this one hasn't made it into here yet:

Kevin Keegan:

"When you do that with footballers like he said about Leeds and when you do things like that about a man like Stuart Pearce, I'm... I... I've kept really quiet but I'll tell you something: he went down in my estimation when he said that. We have not resorted to that. But I'll tell ya, you can tell him now, he'll be watching it: we're still fighting for this title and he's got to go to Middlesbrough and get something and... and... I'll tell ya... honestly... I will luv it if we beat them. Luv it."

Brings back the memories

I'd like to actually see the pic of it inscribed on his body. Cantona was, and still is the most enigmatic figure football has ever had. Even the man's goal celebration against Sunderland, was the best I've ever seen, and all he did was stand there. Oh how I'd love to knock a few beers back with Eric the King.

"It's like they are running around the pitch playing with themselves" - referring to the Brazil national football team.

"The Czech Republic are coming from behind in more than one way now" - in 27th minute of World Cup 2006 game against Italy

"On a scale of one to ten that was one hell of a strike"

"Koller shares a hairstyle with Jaap Stam. Of course, they have no hair"

"I think this could be our best victory over Germany since the war." On the occasion of England's 5-1 defeat of Germany in Munich, September 1, 2001.

"Steve Bruce has got the taste for Wembley in his nostrils!"

- John Motson (who I share a birthday with, just to let you know)

Match Intro - Arsenal vs. Man Utd (Jan 2007) "Meetings between these clubs are never dull, they are often momentous. League championships have been won... tempers have been lost... pizzas have been thrown."

Classic SAF Quote

"My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpewl right off their ******* perch. And you can print that."
