In his first press conference as Southampton manager:

Big Ron talking about Carlton Palmer:
I wouldn't say he was gifted with technical ability, in fact he can trap a ball further
Than I can kick one.

The one where idiot Fisher talks about the crowds at Northampton

Was it Bill Shankly that took a player back out on the pitch after a game. "What we looking for boss? That bloody hole you have been hiding in all game"

'I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one.'

I think he also told his players to "retaliate first"

The late great Bill Shahkly:
Of course I didn't take my wife to watch Rochdale For our anniversary,
it was her birthday.
Do you really think I'd get married during the football season.
Anyway it were Rochdale reserves.

If in doubt, put the ball in Row Z.

No one has ever been known to score from Row Z.

During Jack Charlton's early days as Rep of Ireland boss, he reputedly and quite often referred to Liam Brady as "Ian Brady". (Younger readers may want to ask a grown up)
On another occasion during a training session he enquired: "Where did those two Irish fella's go"?

It was Bill Shankley who came out with the much quoted "football isn`t a matter of life and death, it`s more important than that".

(reputedly describing Bobby Gould) "He couldn`t trap a bag of cement".

And my favourite:- when asked what he would do if Everton were playing at the back of his house, "I`d draw the curtains".
