Dale The Ram Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 What are the best quotes you've heard on this magnificent sport and which ones do you agree with totally or move you. Maybe you've even got a personal story which relates to a quote. Anyways.... Tony Adams - "Play for the name on the front and they'll remember the name on the back" My favourite quote, all relates to players like Totti, Gerrard, Carragher, Maldini and Ledley King. It hits the nail on the head for me, with the right intentions and selflessness you can be a great player and a legend. Admittedly all these players are greats but the respect they gain from sticking to their club immortalises them in the club folklore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whether he actually believed this or not, as I know very little of Shankly but if he did then it would be hard to take anything else he said seriously.

Alph Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Nice one. I can't remember the details but there was this guy who used to do charity events all over the country for sick kids or something. Think he might have been ill himself, not sure. Anyway he's basically a frickin Saint. He gets all these stars to do a performance and stuff. Like Kiss and such. Or if the bands or rockers can't make it they send stuff for him to auction off at these events like a guitar or something. Anyway, for years he could never get hold of Rod Stewart. Never got a reply or anything. Pretty much everyone had done something except Rod Stewart. Then on a tv program here, Rod Stewart finally responds and offers to do a gig at one of these events. He said he wanted to help as soon as he read the letter and that no letters or whatever had ever reached him. Very nice eh? Yep, also helped him promote his brand new song and album. What a fine coincidence. Who's helping who Rod? Sicko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 It was said very much tongue in cheek I believe. Indeed, I listened to an interview with someone who was there when he said it. I think it was a slight on the media sensenationalism of football. Moral of the story, don't use irony if you think you quote is gonna be remembered forever.
