“Football (soccer) is a matter of life and death, except more important.”

For a player to be good enough to play for Liverpool, he must be prepared to run through a brick wall for me then come out fighting on the other side.

We don’t need to motivate players because each of them is responsible for the performance of the team as a whole. The status of Liverpool’s players keeps them motivated.

Tommy Smith wasn’t born, he was quarried.

Pressure is not the European Cup or the Championship or the Cup Final. That’s the reward.

I’m a people’s man – only the people matter.

I’m really inspired by the interplay of visual art and music, a total artistic environment where there’s sound and visuals.

Call you up in the middle of the night. It’s awful hard trying to make love long distance, but I really need stimulation.

It’s a 90 minute game for sure. In fact I used to train for a 190 minute game so that when the whistle blew at the end of the match I could have played another 90 minutes.

Well the Kop’s exclusive. The Spion Kop at Liverpool is an institution. And if you are a member of the Kop you feel as if you are a member of a big society where you’ve got thousands of friends all roundabout you. And they’re united and loyal.

Pressure is working down the pit. Pressure is having no work at all. Pressure is trying to escape relegation on 50 shillings a week.

Which is the greatest quality of all. He was a true Liverpudlian who couldn’t look his fellow Scousers in the face after a game unless he’d given everything he had for 90 minutes.

My life is my work. My work is my life

Nice, People, Bumps, Inocence, Always

Aim for the sky and you’ll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you’ll stay on the floor.

When antibiotics became industrially produced following World War II, our quality of life and our longevity improved enormously. No one thought bacteria were going to become resistant.

We are a team. We share the ball, we share the game, we share the worries.

Well we got nine and you can’t score more than that

The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.

If you’re in the penalty area and don’t know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we’ll discuss the options later.

There’s a tipping point that happens with soccer in which you just kinda get it. I was drawn to it because the best soccer teams play similarly to my favorite basketball teams .

If I walked on water, my accusers would say it is because I can’t swim.

Men can have a huge turnover of sponsorship and still survive a lot better than the women. But the women’s ratings are better, at least at home in the United States than in the men’s tennis.

I was always active – I went from baseball to football. I didn’t have time to work out.

I also tell them that your education can take you way farther than a football, baseball, track, or basketball will – that’s just the bottom line.
