I have never cared especially for outdoor sports and have no desire to excel at tennis, swimming, or golf. I’ll leave those things to the men.

I don’t know why women want any of the things men have when one of the things that women have is men.

I know my serve stinks, but I was a pretty good tennis player.

Turn resolutely to work, to recreation, or in any case to physical exercise till you are so tired you can’t help going to sleep, and when you wake up you won’t want to worry.

I like to take it easy.

I hope the fans have enjoyed listening as much as I’ve enjoyed doing the games. I don’t ever go to the park where I don’t have a good day. I don’t like losing. But I don’t think I ever go to the park where I have a bad day. I don’t think once.

Never put your money against Cassius Clay, for you will never have a lucky day.

One of the most basic factors in sports is that winning becomes a habit, and losing is the same way. When failure starts to feel normal in your life or your work or even your darkest vices, you won’t have to go looking for trouble, because trouble will find you. Count on it.

The bat is not a toy, it’s a weapon. It gives me everything in life, which helps me to do everything on the field.

Baseball was, is and always will be to me the best game in the world.

When I came up to bat with three men on and two outs in the ninth, I looked in the other team’s dugout and they were already in street clothes.

I’m committed to the fight game.

I had a good time boxing. I enjoyed it – and I may come back.

The biggest thing is just routine. I think that’s the biggest correlation between golfers and basketball players.

Leisure and curiosity might soon make great advances in useful knowledge, were they not diverted by minute emulation and laborious trifles.

I used to rush home to see ‚Match Of The Day.‘ Whatever I was doing, I wouldn’t miss it.

Cage Warriors is a brilliant organisation. They’re doing great things for European MMA, and they’re giving the platform for guys like me who came through. They’re vital. I’m forever grateful for the opportunities I got.

As a professional athlete a lot is going to be said about you – but I just try to move forward and try to achieve my goals.

I can remember earning £5,000 a game playing for Hibs at the end of the Seventies. They let me commute from London, train on the Friday and play on Saturday. That lasted until my friends at the Inland Revenue decided to take two-thirds. That wasn’t very entertaining for me.

How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.

I can’t play soccer, and I’m not a great swimmer. I won’t drown, but you won’t see me doing laps in a pool.

There is something special which rides on a game between Liverpool and United.

I look at athletes in all sports and try to picture what kind of football player they’d be, what position they’d play and so on.

I’ve been so blessed to play for the greatest coach at a time when our organization has done incredible things. I’ve played with the best teammates. Playing for Mr. Kraft and what his influence on the team has been.

I’m really a normal football manager.

Why do Jewish men die before their wives? They want to.

Oh! Most miserable wretch that I am! Why have I not learnt how to swim?

Men like a ref decision because they just want to get back to the game.

Duke is an ugly word in Kentucky. Nothing in the world compares to the joy of beating those hateful swine from Duke.

Marathon running, like golf, is a game for players, not winners. That is why Callaway sells golf clubs and Nike sells running shoes. But running is unique in that the world’s best racers are on the same course, at the same time, as amateurs, who have as much chance of winning as your average weekend warrior would scoring a touchdown in the NFL.

I hit a grand slam off Ron Herbel and when his manager Herman Franks came out to get him, he was bringing Herbel’s suitcase.

A man is as good as he has to be, and a woman as bad as she dares.

If I said I would knock out Sonny Liston in 1 minute and 49 seconds of the first round, that would hurt the gate.

I hate all sports as rabidly as a person who likes sports hates common sense.

As an athlete, you’d better laugh at yourself when you slip in the mud.

The more minutes you play and the more grind and physical play you endure through the course of a season, you have to re-charge and get your body right for the next season. Be in that weight room and conditioning and that kind of deal.

Players today moan about the number of games, but when you’re young, you can’t play enough.

There’s nothing more comfortable or leisurely than having a pair of Ugg slippers on in the house.

Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning.

You want me to own a team and deal with these rich, spoiled stubborn athletes, and try to get them to perform? No thank you.

I swam underwater for 50 meters at a time and walked the length of the pool underwater, with a brick in each hand, all on a single breath.

I am very happy playing and showing off my talent on the cricket field and have no plans to enter Bollywood.

Lots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can’t it happen to me? I’m not worried I’m young – it’s an incentive to do the best I can.

I love to pop up at the movie theaters. I love to treat the people who are there.

Over the years, all my coaches and my teammates have contributed a lot to shape my career. I can never forget their contribution and help.

All cultures have these feelings about non-functional areas of activity. And the more time people have on their hands, the more they commit it to those areas.

All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it. I get back to the dugout and they ask me what it was I hit and I tell them I don’t know except it looked good.

When a father puts in long hours at work, he’s praised for being dedicated and ambitious. But when a mother stays late at the office, she’s sometimes accused of being selfish, neglecting her kids.

I think my top salary was maybe in 1966. I made $17,000 and 11 of that came from selling other players‘ equipment.

The male, for all his bravado and exploration, is the loyal one, the one who generally feels love. The female is skilled at betrayal and torture and damnation.

You gotta understand: I believe a woman should praise the man, the king. If you holding it down for your woman, I feel like the woman should praise. And the man should praise the queen.

Talking to a player helps, but in our sport the majority of learning happens from watching another player. You pick up things like being punctual, being nice to everyone, making sure you give your 100 per cent even in training.

I’m much more comfortable and confident running out on the field in front of 70,000 people instead of standing in front of a camera trying to say some lines. The people who do that as a profession are very talented because it’s certainly not easy.

My superhero has always been Tendulkar, and it will be Tendulkar for life. He is someone who has inspired me immensely. Just watching him play for India, I used to dream of winning games for India, because he used to do it single handedly.

Well, they’re Southern people, and if they know you are working at home they think nothing of walking right in for coffee. But they wouldn’t dream of interrupting you at golf.

If you watch me during the game, I celebrate when we press the ball and it goes out.

I saw MotoGP on TV first, before I saw F1 and other types of car racing. It’s what I got more into. It was cool, there was good, exciting racing.

If a man watches three football games in a row, he should be declared legally dead.

Great American sport. Horseshoes is a very great game. I love it.

I’ve thought sometimes about what I like about football, and it’s playing together.

Football is a game you cannot play without making mistakes.
