It's been done before but still makes me laugh so here are some stupid things stupid footballers have said:

"They're the second best team in the world, and there's no higher praise than that."

Kevin Keegan

"I definitely want Brooklyn to be christened, but I don't know into what religion yet."

David Beckham

"I never make predictions, and I never will."

Paul Gascoigne

"The minute's silence was immaculate, I have never heard a minute's silence like that."

Glenn Hoddle

"I couldn't settle in Italy. It was like living in a foreign country."

Ian Rush

"Germany are a very difficult team to play...they had 11 internationals out there today."

Steve Lomas

"You've got to take the rough with the smooth. It's like love and hate, war and peace, all that bollocks."

Ian Wright

"My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about 7."

David Beckham

"I can see the carrot at the end of the tunnel."

Stuart Pearce

"I always used to put my right boot on first, and then obviously my right sock."

Barry Venison

"We must have had 99 per cent of the match. It was the other three per cent that cost us."

Ruud Gullit

Sometimes in football you have to score goals.

Also, Gordon Strachan is a genius.

Reporter: Gordon, you must be delighted with that result?

Strachan: You're spot on! You can read me like a book.

Reporter: Bang, there goes your unbeaten run. Can you take it?

Strachan: No, I'm just going to crumble like a wreck. I'll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe jump of a bridge. Umm, I think I can take it, yeah.

Reporter: There's no negative vibes or negative feelings here?

Strachan: Apart from yourself, we're all quite positive round here. I'm going to whack you over the head with a big stick, down negative man, down.

Reporter: Where will Marion Pahars fit into the team line-up?

Strachan: Not telling you! It's a secret.

I met Strachan 4 years ago, he was a live wire that's for sure.
