More great football quotes...

Just like a bus, you wait ages and then a few come along at once... here are some more great quotes compiled by ESPNSoccernet... I've listed just a few of my favorites, but take a look at the link at the bottom for a full list...those sensitive to language should read no further...

"A virgin" - October 2007 - Peter Crouch responds to a question about what he would have been if he had not become a footballer. Instead, he ends up with Abbey Clancy (left)... what does she see in the 6 ft 7 inch gangly, not quite handsome millionaire footballer?

"My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment. My greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their f****** perch. And you can print that" - September 2002 - Sir Alex Ferguson makes clear his feeling towards United's rivals.

"We call them 'busy c***s' for their endless grumbling about everything in general and nothing in particular. They never stop" - August 2001 - Manchester United defender Jaap Stam secures a move to Lazio as his comment on the Neville brothers in his autobiography reportedly infuriates Sir Alex Ferguson.

"What in heaven's name was f****** Ranieri thinking in bringing Veron on? And I'm sorry, but I f****** think that f****** Desailly is a cheating f***. That was wrong. He's f****** been gone for two and a half years! And instead of playing like an old man and saying, 'All right, I'll f****** stay where I can't get exploited' ... I've always thought that he has no awareness of danger. He is what is known in some schools as a f****** lazy, thick n*****. That is a f****** disgusting performance. Full marks to them, though. They were f****** different class" - April 2004 - Ron Atkinson famously brings an abrupt end to his career as a television commentator/pundit after his racist attack on Marcel Desailly was accidentally broadcast during the coverage of Chelsea's Champions League exit to Monaco.
