Tommy Smith wasn't born, he was quarried.

Denis Law could dance on eggshells.

In my time at Anfield we always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside - Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.

If you are first you are first. If you are second, you are nothing.

What a great day for football, all we need is some green grass and a ball.

At a football club, there's a holy trinity - the players, the manager and the supporters. Directors don't come into it. They are only there to sign the checks.

The difference between Everton and the Queen Mary is that Everton carry more passengers!

Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.

The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.

The socialism I believe in is everybody working for the same goal and everybody having a share in the rewards. That’s how I see football, that’s how I see life.

If Everton were playing down the bottom of my garden, I'd draw the curtains.

Life is here only to be lived so that we can, through life, earn the right to death, which to me is paradise. Whatever it is that will bring me the reward of paradise, I'll do the best I can.

If I had never won a single medal, I'd still be skating in a rink somewhere. There wouldn't be an audience or camera flashes or autograph seekers, but I'd still be skating.

There's a lot of disorder that comes along with wanting to know everything and wanting to try everything and wanting to experience everything, but there's a lot of knowledge that comes out of it too.

That was totally against the runaway

My guitar is really tempermental. I don't give up on it though, I'm close to my guitar!

I play a garbage man who moonlights as a stand-up comedian. Terrible.

The man or the woman who can display the nonviolence of the brave can easily stand against as external invasion.

I recognise no God except the God that is to be found in the hearts of the dumb millions.

I loved smart and fearless comedians like Joan Rivers and Don Rickles. When they started out, what they did wasn't always socially accepted, but they both had careers that lasted over 50 years.

Usually, there's nothing being thrown toward the stage or at me. Then I feel pretty good about it.
