We have lost a comedy genius...
Well two actually... I grew up watching Dave Allen. Sitting there on his stool fag in hand, scotch on the table.
RIP. One of my heroes.
But also Kevin Keegan has departed..... May he forever play golf around the courses of the Algarve!
KEVIN KEEGAN: A CAREER IN QUOTES
After several whole seconds' hard thinking, we concluded there was no better way to celebrate the career of a man who once uttered, "Batistuta is very good at pulling off defenders," than by looking at some of his finest oratories. Enjoy...
"People will say that was typical City, which really annoys me. But that's typical City, I suppose..."
"If I had a blank piece of paper there'd be five names on it."
"England have the best fans in the world and Scotland's fans are second to none."
"By the end Asprilla was knackered-o. I think that's the Spanish for it."
"They're the second best team in the world and there's no higher praise than that."
"He's using his strength and that is his strength, his strength."
"You can't do better than go away from home and get a draw."
"The tide is very much in our court now."
"There'll be no siestas in Madrid tonight."
"It's understandable that people are keeping one eye on the pot and another up the chimney."
"In some ways, cramp is worse than having a broken leg."
"It's like a toaster, the ref's shirt pocket. Every time there's a tackle, up pops a yellow card."
"I'd love to be a mole on the wall in the Liverpool dressing room at half-time."
"The game has gone rather scrappy as both sides realise they could win this match or lose it."
"That would have been a goal if it wasn't saved."
And the single defining moment of his career, complete and uncut in all its glory:
"When you do that with footballers, like he said about Leeds... I've kept really quiet, but I'll tell you something, he went down in my estimations when he said that. We have not resorted to that, but I'll tell you, you can tell him now, he'll be watching this, we're still fighting for this title. He's got to go to Middlesbrough and get something. I'll tell you honestly, I would love it if we beat them, love it."
