Trader Horn, British tennis umpire explaining to Ilie Nastase at Wimbledon why he refused to call him 'Mister'.

Look, Nastase, we used to have a famous cricket match in this country called Gentlemen versus Players. The Gentlemen were put down on the scorecard as 'Mister' because they were gentlemen. By no stretch of the imagination can anyone call you a gentleman.

Johnny Miller, US golfer on legend Jack Nicklaus:

When Nicklaus plays well he wins, when he plays badly he comes second. When he's playing terribly he's third.

And Nicklaus on himself:

I think I fail a bit less than everyone else.

C B Fry, English cricketer, footballer and athlete objecting to the football penalty laws in 1907:

It is a standing insult to sportsmen to have to play under a rule which assumes that players intend to trip, hack and push their opponents, and to behave like cads of the most unscrupulous kidney. The lines marking a penalty area are a disgrace to the playing fields of a public school.

Hmm. I wonder what the likes of Vinny, Chopper, Smithy, Bites Yer Legs Hunter, Keano, and particularly Ducks, would make of that? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Pele:

A penalty is a cowardly way to score.

That might account for the number of horrible misses we see - obviously the players don't want to be branded as cowards! :)

I'd like to borrow his body for just 48 hours. There are three guys I'd like to beat up and four women I'd like to make love to.
