It can be by a player or manager or a quote about the club.

My personal favourite is: "Judge him when he leaves the club." by The Special One when people questioned him buying Drogba.

A couple from Tommy Docherty:

 

There is a place for the press - but they haven;t dug it yet!

 

Football shouldn't be judged by linesmen and air traffic control.

“I am not concerned about how Chelsea are viewed morally. What does concern me is that we are treated in a different way to other clubs. Some clubs are treated as devils, some are treated as angels. I don’t think we are so ugly that we should be seen as the devil and I don’t think Arsene Wenger and David Dein are so beautiful that they should be viewed as angels.â€

“It is like having a blanket that is too small for the bed. You pull the blanket up to keep your chest warm and your feet stick out. I cannot buy a bigger blanket becuase the supermarket is closed. But I am content because the blanket is cashmere. It is no ordinary blanket.â€

“I think he is one of these people who is a voyeur. He likes to watch other people. There are some guys who, when they are at home, have a big telescope to see what happens in other families. He speaks, speaks, speaks about Chelsea.†– on Arsène Wenger

Pressure? What pressure? Pressure is poor people in the world trying to feed their families. There is no pressure in football†– speaking in a post-match interview

I’m not a defender of old or new football managers. I believe in good ones and bad ones, those that achieve success and those that don’t. Please don’t call me arrogant, but I’m European champion and I think I’m a special one.

“We have top players and, sorry if I’m arrogant, we have a top manager.â€

I quite liked joses one about bird flu.

"I'm feeling a lot of pressure with the swan in Scotland. It's not far and I'm more scared of the swan than of football. What's football compared to life? A swan with bird flu, for me that's a drama."

“Firstly we must all stick together. We take on the world as one - us players, management and staff and especially the supporters.†- John Terry

 

"Its a disgrace..a f***** disgrace!"

I’m not a defender of old or new football managers. I believe in good ones and bad ones, those that achieve success and those that don’t. Please don’t call me arrogant, but I’m European champion and I think I’m a special one.

Who said that then?

Who said that then?

Grant.

Remember this? What was that all about?

Probably got something to do with when he took West Ham down and maybe the fact he failed to win the CL (Moscow 2008) with us even though it really wasn't his fault.

 

 

"What I am saying is true because I'm a European champion. I'm not one from the bottle, I'm a special one." JOSE

Remember this? What was that all about?

West Ham being Millwalls enemy number one. Avram Grant tok them down so he was a hero in their eyes. The plane flew over the DW just after Wigan scored the goal that put Wesh Ham into the Championship. Great timing.

Jose at a Barcelona v Chelsea pre match press conference:

 

"Which team line do you want, Barcelona's or Chelsea's - I'll give you both"

"I didn't get that worked up in the dressing room.  Instead I used to read the programme to see who I had to kick that week"  Chopper Harris

TGO agan  "We have played against them four matches in two seasons.  11 against 11 they never beat us.  That is the reality"  

"I didn't get that worked up in the dressing room. Instead I used to read the programme to see who I had to kick that week" Chopper Harris

Ha ha love that. I met chopper at a sportsmans a bit ago and mentioned that quote. He said it wasnt meant as a joke either. Scary man, but our scary man.

"The Germans don't lose on penalties"

 

"They do now"

Probably the most frequently and deliberately misquoted line in the history of sport.

Just clarifying- do you mean it is always quoted as the rather than a special one?

Yes - all the time by every single writer and pundit,
