People that have inspired us have said this about the Beautiful Game:

“If you don’t have to drag yourself off the field exhausted after 90 minutes, you can’t claim to have done your best.” - Bill Nicolson

“There's no use being satisfied when things are done wrongly. I want perfection." - Bill Nicolson

“It's no use just winning, we've got to win well." - Bill Nicolson

“When it is played at its best football remains the greatest game of all." - Bill Nicolson

“If you don't win anything, you have had a bad season." - Bill Nicolson

“Aim for the sky and you'll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you'll stay on the floor.” - Bill Shankly

“A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are.” - Bill Shankly

“Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple." - Bill Shankly

“Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.”- Bill Shankly

“The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. Football is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom" - Danny Blanchflower

“Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is." - Danny Blanchflower

“Ideas are very funny things. They never work unless you do." - Danny Blanchflower

“You don't want to leave all your vitality on the training track.” - Danny Blanchflower

“If God had wanted us to play football in the clouds, he'd have put grass up there." On the importance of passing to feet. - Brian Clough

“There are five things generally accepted to be necessary to make a footballer: skill, strength, stamina, speed and flexibility. You have to bear these factors in mind when you are putting together your training programme. The whole scene is a stamina test, a marathon race. Strength has to be developed from the start. You build that up, giving the player a higher resistance to things. Skill comes next, developed with a constant repetition of pattern. Speed comes after you've run them in. Then you start to get them stretching out. Flexibility is important, and we probably suffer in this country because of our climate. It's a well-known fact that players performing in warmer climates have a wider range of movements." - Bob Paisley

“Young players need freedom of expression to develop as creative players... they should be encouraged to try skills without fear of failure. " - Arsene Wenger
