Pat Stanton-Class act, class family

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

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".

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)

"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."
