Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.

I have always had the deepest respect for Bill Nicholson as a person and as a manager. The Spurs boss is an honest Yorkshireman and you will go a long way before finding a straighter character than that. Bill has never wavered in his determination to give White Hart Lane fans the best.

If Everton were playing down the bottom of my garden, I'd draw the curtains.

Me having no education. I had to use my brains.

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

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

I don't drop players. I make changes.
