A new thread for you all.
Let's read your favourite sporting quotes, from the inspirational to the insightful, that show a great knowledge of their given code or sport in general.
I'll start another thread for the funny ones and bloopers because there are some crackers there, especially in rugby, so let's try and keep this for the great coaching rants and the well timed commentary observation etc and, to try and give everyone a go, only post one or two at a time rather than downloading lists from the net.
I have a hunch that Larry may have a few stored up for here?
To get things started, from the great Babe Ruth:
"The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime." - Babe Ruth

Maybe one we should take to heart in the current circumstances, it can always get worse!!!
John Henry owner of the Boston Red Sox after breaking an 86 year drought in winning the 2004 World Series in Baseball:

A couple of beauts from The Comm Games
Dean Lukin on one of the women weightlifters "that's a massive snatch"
Duncan Armstrong on one of or swimmers "he likes to lead from the front"
And last buy not least a beaut from our very own EnFORCEr who last week had a few to many beers and was asked not to return to his favorite watering hole for a week. When speaking of some patrons that were a liitle out of hand on St Pats Day 2005 "there's always gotta be one dickhead" well said EnFORCEr!
Someone was watching the glasshouse last night weren't they.

And perhaps big Darryl Eastlakes best effort yet, commentating the winning lift by an Aussie in the 104+ Men:
