I always look in the Sunday paper to see where Everton are in the league - starting, of course, from the bottom up.

A football team is like a piano. You need eight men to carry it and three who can play the damn thing.

I was in the game for the love of football - and I wanted to bring back happiness to the people of Liverpool.

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

This city has two great teams – Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.

The socialism I believe in is everybody working for the same goal and everybody having a share in the rewards. That’s how I see football, that’s how I see life.

Although I'm a Scot, I'd be proud to be called a Scouser.
