Gaffers: The Wit and Wisdom of Football Managers

Gaffers: The Wit and Wisdom of Football Managers 
Every week we hang on the words of football managers, masters of the mixed metaphors, own-goal gaffes and occasional pearls of wisdom. They are among the most famous and oft-quoted members of our modern day celebrity culture. They are highly-paid, highly-strung, and, with a few notable exceptions, have less job security than in virtually any other profession. But that doesn?t stop our macho motivators from stirring things up with their post-match comments, biased biographies and philosophical mutterings.

This comprehensive collection of hilarious one-liners and sometimes poignant reflections has it all: ? The earthy observations of Liverpool legend Bill Shankly and the contemporary, stylish outpourings of Portugal?s Jose Mourinho. ? Ron Atkinson?s ?Ron-glish? and Glenn Hoddle?s born-again gibberish. ? Kevin Keegan?s sanguine sayings and Sir Bobby Robson?s classic confusions. Whether you are a loyal supporter, an armchair fan or not even interested in soccer, you won?t be able to stop laughing at ?Gaffers ? The Wit and Wisdom of Football Managers.?

?Size does matter in football. You judge a defender by the size of his tackle.? Malcolm Allison

?Well, either side could win it, or it could be a draw.? Ron Atkinson

?Argentina are the second-best team in the world, and there?s no higher praise than that.? Ron Atkinson

?I certainly wouldn?t say I?m the best manager in the business ? but I?m in the top one.? Brian Clough

?Even though two and two might look like four, it could be three or five.? Kevin Keegan
