Funny quotables/gaffes from the world of football

There's no shortage of unintentional comedy in soccer. I'll get a few going:

Jimmy Hill: "Don't sit on the fence Terry. What chance do you think Germany has of getting through? Terry Venables: "I think it's 50-50."

He dribbles a lot and the opposition don't like it - you can see it all over their faces. (Ron Atkinson)

"If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again." (Terry Venables)

They said it was the group of death. In the end it was very much the group of survival, particularly for those who survived. (Jimmy Magee)

Post your favourites.

To save anyone the need to type it out, we've all heard that George Best with Miss World on a bed of money with a night porter asking "where did it all go wrong George". I presume the OP is looking for funny moments that really happened.

Still one of the best, I reckon:

"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea. Thank you very much."

And nobody has a f/cking clue what he meant by it!

I always assumed he meant the press keep following him expecting some response but he wasn't going to give them one.

I always assumed it was footballer trying some laughable attempt to seem deep. He should have stuck with the "I disagree, I will kick you in the chest" logic.
