team age overcoat
Tom Finney would have been great in any team, in any match and in any age, even if he had been wearing an overcoat.
football believe successful
The socialism I believe in isn't really politics. It is a way of living. It is humanity. I believe the only way to live and to be truly successful is by collective effort, with everyone working for each other, everyone helping each other, and everyone having a share of the rewards at the end of the day. That might be asking a lot, but it's the way I see football and the way I see life.
red mao shows
Chairman Mao has never seen a greater show of red strength.
eye men games
I've had many skilful men and the likes of Peter Thompson, Ian St John, Kevin Keegan and Steve Heighway were the ones who caught the eye. But the best professional of the lot was Gerry Byrne. He wasn't flashy and he wouldn't score you goals. But he was hard and skilful and gave you everything he had. More than that he was totally honest. Which is the greatest quality of all. He was a true Liverpudlian who couldn't look his fellow Scousers in the face after a game unless he'd given everything he had for 90 minutes.
football jobs home
I’ve been a slave to football. It follows you home, it follows you everywhere, and eats into your family life. But every working man misses out on some things because of his job.
football games people
I was in the game for the love of football - and I wanted to bring back happiness to the people of Liverpool.

england anfield eleven
What can you do, playing against eleven goalposts? (after 0-0 draw at Anfield)
next sticks balls
If you get to the edge of the penalty area with the ball and don't know what to do next, just stick the ball in the net for now. We can evaluate the other options later.
