MATCHDAY QUOTES
"The secret of my success is that I've got intelligent players.
“I don't have to tell them anything.
"He [Brian Little] must have gone over that side for a corner and forgotten to go back [playing out right in the second half].“
Ron Saunders.
“Defences are so scared of Andy’s [Andy Gray’s] reputation they put two men on him and ignore me.
“I’m amazed how much freedom I’ve had recently.
“Yet I also work on creating room for Andy.
“I’m a better player now because I’m not trying to do so much.
“The Manager has told me to concentrate on getting goals so I just give the ball to the midfield men and let them do the donkey work.”
John Deehan.
