Coach

The work of a team should always embrace a great player but the great player must always work.

You can't applaud a referee.

Human beings of today are more fragile, whereas people born in wartime, during the Second World War, eventually became the great players like Pele. They were fantastic players.

The culmination of three trophies was the pinnacle of my career and it has been rewarded with a knighthood.

In England, it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but, all in all, I prefer that to an alcoholic. The relationship with alcohol is a real problem in English football and, in the short term, it's much more harmful to a sportsman. It weakens the body, which becomes more susceptible to injury.

If I have my health I can carry on. There will be a point when I do quit but I have absolutely no idea when that is.

The time I have already spent at Harvard has been a stimulating experience, and I look forward to developing my relationship and activities with the students, faculty and friends of the Harvard Business School community.

As long as there are games to play it is not over.

I feel sympathy for the working class lad. I've always championed about ticket prices and try to equate that to people's salaries.

One of the things I always thought about as a young coach was finding solutions to things that happened, but the most important thing I always referred to was never giving in.

Sometimes in football you have to hold your hand up and say, yeah, they're better than us.

I'm going to tell you the story about the geese which fly 5,000 miles from Canada to France. They fly in V-formation but the second ones don't fly. They're the subs for the first ones. And then the second ones take over - so it's teamwork.

Her Majesty said she hoped I would have time for my horses - I own two and have shares in four.

I've never played for a draw in my life.

I tell the players that the bus is moving. This club has to progress. And the bus wouldn't wait for them. I tell them to get on board.

Bobby Charlton's record was quite substantial. I couldn't think anybody would beat that. It is an achievement par excellence.

You are responsible to each other because when you win a game of football, you only need eight players to perform well.

I do believe in fate.

Well, football is a hard game; there's no denying it. It's a game that can bring out the worst in you, at times.

I don't like losing but I've mellowed. I maybe have a short fuse but it goes away quicker now.
