My  Football Quotes

 

Lord Nelson! Lord Beaverbrook! Sir Winston Churchill! Sir Anthony Eden! Clement Attlee! Henry Cooper! Lady Diana! Maggie 

Thatcher - can you hear me, Maggie Thatcher! Your boys took one hell of a beating! Your boys took one hell of a beating!

 -Bjørge Lillelien when Norway beat England 2-1 in Oslo in a World Cup qualifier in Sept. 1981 

 

Fotball is not a matter of life and death. It is much more important than that.

-Bill Shankly

 

Ole Gunnar Solskjær has been going through the most difficult period of his life. It is hard counting money while you are wearing out the

bench.

-Darwin P.Erlandsen, Dagbladet, Oslo

 

The Norwegian football player Egil Østenstad and the Titanic have something in common. Neither of them should have left Southampton.

-Kjell Kristian Rike

 

Fotball is a game where two 11-men teams play against another and Germany wins.

-Gary Lineker

 

No surprise that France became the winner of their football-WC 1998. It's not so many years since they had a president named Charles de Goal.

-Kristian Rakvåg

 

The match ended 0 - 0, but considering play and chances, the result could have been the other wayaround.

-Norwegian newspaper

 

Said by a Norwegian fotball coach where Sweden was leading 8 - 1 in the middle of the second period:

Come on boys! Let's go for a draw.

 

Ido not know what's greatest: A free kick right under the cross bar from 40 meters or sleeping with Miss World. I have done both.

-George Best

 

Kjetil Rekdal is the born football coach. He probably discussed tactics with the midwife as his navel string was cut.

-Jan Åge Fjørtoft commenting for Norwegian TV

 

And now to the second episode of the football match.

-Slip of the tongue by Norwegian TV hostess

 

In the good old days, the football ground weren't at all as well-groomed and cared for as today. I remember once I took a penalty, I wanted to

set up a good kicking pace and started my run all the way back from my own defense field. And when I finally made the kick, I happened to hit

a tussock, which darted in the direction of the top right corner of the goal in a mighty speed. The goalie flung himself to his utmost reach and

only just managed to fist the tussock across the corner line, while the ball, unnoticed, slowly rolled into the net.

-Asbjørn Holst, Molde

 

The Norwegian football club Sør-Gossen in the 60s had a spell of ugly defeats in the 5th division.When they were beaten 22 to 0 by Bud, the

newspaper reported: It was a well-matched game, 11 to 0 in both halves.

 

I want a divorce from my mother and father, because they beat me, said the boy. So I plan to move into the clubhouse of the

football club Brann here in Bergen, because they don't beat anybody at all.

-Story from local newspaper in a weak Brann period

 

At the acupuncturist's in Nairobi 1987 - photo Rita Kvinge >

I am a conceited cock chicken who thinks the sun is rising every morning just to hear me crow.

Jeg er en innbilsk hanekylling som trur at sola står opp hver morgen bare for å høre meg gale.
