Quotes from players and managers

[GreenArmyyy!]

As it says on the tin, what are your favourite quotes from players/managers past or present that emphasise how great our club is?

I will kick off with Eddie Turnbull, "there's class, there's first class and then there's Hibs class".

[Billy Whizz]

The famous Bill Shankly
He said, "when I die, I want to be the fittest man that ever died"

[Jim44]

Turnbull to Alan Gordon:

"Your problem is that your brain is in your head."

[Bostonhibby]

Assorted yam managers- Mr romanov said it was okay.

[hibees 7062]

[JimBHibees]

Journo: Has Scott Brown handed in a transfer request?

[PatHead]

Beckham on being asked if he was a volatile player

My 'favourites':

"Sometimes it's good to concede an early goal"

"If you want entertainment go to the cinema"

"Fitba guys ken whit's gawn oan"

[portycabbage]

"Statistics are just like mini-skirts - they give you good ideas, but hide the most important thing."

Ebbe Skovdahl

Derek Riordan: "Nah, she's blonde"


Blobby Williamson: If hibs fans expect entertainment on a Saturday, then they should go to the cinema"


John Collins: "The ball is round and it is meant to roll. You start at the back and play through the midfield, with lots of movements and other attributes like aggression, passion and commitment. Without those you don't become a good player and you don't have a good team."


Colin Calderwood: "‘If someone offers you two bags of sweets, you look in both before you choose’"
This whole interview makes my blood boil :http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/football/if-someone-offers-you-two-bags-of-sweets-you-look-in-both-before-you-choose.14179944


Terry Buther: "Sometimes maybe it's a good thing if you lose an early goal because it takes away the threat of conceding because you have conceded - and then we lose a second goal."


Pat Stanton: "When I was a lad aged 14, I went to train with Hibs. They were keen to sign me and after training one evening I was sent up to the boardroom to see the manager, Hugh Shaw, who had managed the Famous Five team. Mr Shaw said to me, 'did you enjoy training, Pat?' and I said, 'yes, I did.' He then said 'here' and handed me a 10 shilling note. I got the bus back home to Craigmillar and handed that note to my mother, who showed it to my dad, a proud Hibee. I thought nothing more of it.

"Many years later, when my father passed away, my mum handed me a folder of some of his collections – letters, football cards, other wee items – and then she said to me, 'do you know what this is?' Tucked away at the back was an old 10 shilling note. 'This is the same 10 shilling note you handed to us after you first trained with Hibs,' she said. 'That's what it meant to your dad.'
Hibs are my club.

Ex Hibs Manager Dave Ewing, when being interviewed by West Coast press over upcoming Cup Tie with Rangers and totally pissed off about being told how mighty they were :-


'Rangers are Rubbish !!'

[Mikey09]

"When I was a player the only agent going around was 007... And he only ****ed women, not entire football clubs!!"

The great Brian Clough letting his feelings be known on the modern day football agent... Best manager EVER!! :agree:

[Jim Herriot]

Andy Goram, after being in a 7-a-side team that beat Hearts, was asked who he wanted in the next round.
'Hearts again.'

Some of the Cloughie ones are brilliant.

"Well we sit down, discuss the situation agree I was right and then move on". :greengrin

[GreenOnions]

"Velocity"
Gordon Strachan

[Smartie]

"The operation was a success but the patient died"

Ebbe Skovdahl after Aberdeen "parked the bus" for the duration of a game at Parkhead but lost a very late goal to lose 1-0.

[ancient hibee]

Eddie Turnbull -football's a simple game,you get the ball and play with it.if the other lot get the ball you take it off them and start again.


Martin O'neill to Clough-why am I in the second team---Clough-because there isn't a third team.


Clough at half time when Forest are losing-there's a ball get aquainted with it(throws it at Kenny Burns' head).


Shankly after Liverpool have lost six goals-our trouble is we can't play against defensive teams.

Alf Ramsay arriving at Glasgow airport in 1966 ---welcome to Scotland Mr.Ramsay---Ramsay that'll be f*****g right.

[lochhibs]

Can't remember the whole quote but the George best 1 about ****ging miss world and scoring the winner at anfield,'I've done both ',was a good 1.

"Velocity"
Gordon Strachan

BTW He actually stole that one from Martin Buchan

[southsider]

"Velocity"

The reporter asked " Gordon, can I have a quick word ?"

It doesn't really work though, as velocity can be high or low.

How about ' Whoosh '?

Quickness or rate of motion in the Oxford Dictionary.

Quickness or rate of motion in the Oxford Dictionary.

Velocity means speed - which can be slow or fast.

I like the Shankley one, when he was asked about how Everton were doing in a particular season. He answered, "if Everton were playing on my front grass, I'd get up an shut the curtains".

:wink: The David Peace book red or dead is a good read although his repetitive style of writing is annoying

[iwasthere1972]

When a player, coach or pundit is asked if they thought that (insert team name here) can get into the top ten of the league and they answered that they could get higher. I know what they mean but you can't get higher than top ten even if you are first.

[snooky]

Some pundit asked Kenny Dalglish, "Will you take all your secrets to your grave?"
KD replied, "You'll never know".

(Not sure of the exact words but it went something like that)

[yekimevol]

"I dunno"

- Scott Brown

I have always had a good laugh at scotts interview there; But all time time favourite is Jose on the pressure of being a football manager.

"For me, pressure is bird flu; I am feeling a lot of pressure with the swan in Scotland," "I am serious. You are laughing but I am serious. I am more scared of the bird flu than football. What is football compared with life? A swan with bird flu, for me, that is the drama of the last two days. I have to buy some masks and stuff. I am serious. Maybe for my team as well."

[Tom Hart RIP]

Bill Shankly. "Don't talk to me about policemen. There is one standing outside 10 Downing Street all day and the ******* still gets out"

[FranckSuzy]

Eamon Andrews: "And in 1979, you signed for Hibernian".

George Best: "Did I?"

Always made me :faf: but now it's poignant.
