Robbo didn't look anything like a professional athlete when I first clapped eyes on him. In fact there were times when he didn't resemble a member of the human race.

I never froze a player with fear in my life. I sent them out thinking they were the best since Stanley Matthews

I constantly doubt my ability to manage. I think I'm right but I'm not infallible. If Hitler had sat down and thought for a minute we wouldn't be here today

I'd tell players if they couldn't get into work by 10.30 in the morning then they weren't worth bothering with

Misinformed people say fear was my biggest weapon with my players. That's crap. My teams couldn't play the kind of football they did if they'd been frightened.

I'm not sure who Fergie regards as his best ever signing at Old Trafford but there can't have been one better than Roy Keane

When Gazza was carried past me on a stretcher, I turned to one of our coaches and said 'He's finished as a player if he's got what I think he's got.' I wasn't far wrong

I've always loved Western films. I was brought up on cowboys who could shoot with both hands.

Football's full of people who think they can be managers, when they haven't got a cat in hells chance. In fact a cat would have a better chance than most of 'em

Larry Lloyd was a big lad. When he finished playing he took on a pub and he became the only landlord I know who was bigger than his pub.

Kenny Burns was capable of cutting you in two and came up with a bit of a reputation, yet he turned out to be as nice a lad as I've ever managed.

I love the smell of live sport. My missus reckons I smelled of embrocation for more than 20 years, she thought I bathed in it.

Don't tell me I would have failed as England manager. Me? Working with the best of the very best. I couldn't have failed

'No one will ever do what I did at Nottingham Forest, now that's a thought to keep you warm at night.'
