QUOTE OF THE DAY

Edward Grey, British Liberal politician:

I am getting to an age when I can only enjoy the last sport left. It is called hunting for your spectacles.
 
Vernon 'Lefty' Gomez, US baseball pitcher on being older:

I'm throwing just as hard as I ever did. The ball's just not getting there as fast.
 
Dr Phog Allen, US basketball coach:

You're not old until it takes you longer to rest up than it does to get tired.
 
Lawrence Taylor, US football player:

When you get old, everything is hurting. When I get up in the morning, it sounds like I'm making popcorn.
 
Jack Nicklaus, absolute legendary US golfer (and a hell of a nice guy with it!):

The older you get the stronger the wind gets - and it's always in your face.
 
Joe Kinnear, Irish football player and manager said in 1995 about agents:

Dogs, worms, vermin.

I think Hector would have been greatly offended by that comparison!
 
Jay "Dizzy" Dean, US baseball olayer:

Sure I eat what I advertise. Sure I eat Wheaties for breakfast. A good bowl of Wheaties with Bourbon can't be beat.
 
Ian Wright, English footballer referring to news that team mate, Tony Adams, had publicly admitted to having an alcohol problem:

It took a lot of bottle for Tony to own up.

He could have phrased it a little better! :)
 
Ian Ferguson, Scottish footballer on receiving his 23rd cup and league-cup medal with Glasgow Rangers:

I only drink when we win a trophy. Reckon people think I'm an alcoholic.
 
Vivian Jenkins, Welsh rugby player said in the 1970s:

The only real amateur, in my book, is the one who pays his own expenses.

I guess he didn't count the 'boot money' that 'amateurs' got in those days!
 
Duffy Daugherty, US football coach:

Football is not a contact sport. It's a collision sport. Dancing is a good example of a contact sport.
 
John Steinbeck, US novelist:

It has always been my private conviction that any man who pits his intelligence against a fish and loses has it coming.
 
Samuel Johnson, British lexicographer:

It is very strange, and very melancholy, that the paucity of human pleasures should persuade us ever to call hunting one of them.
 
Geoff Boycott, English Test cricketer on team mate Derek Underwood:

The face of a choirboy, the demeanour of a civil servant and the ruthlessness of a rat catcher.
 
Frank Keating, British sportswriter on legendary cricket commentator, John Arlott said in 1991:

Probably the most celebrated British voice after Churchill's.
 
Great observation by John Arlott commentating on a 1948 Test Match in which South African bowler, 'Tufty' Mann was causing all sorts of difficulty to England batsman, George Mann.

So what we have here is a clear case of Mann's inhumanity to Mann.

Love it! :)
