What they Said

Brighton & Hove Albion.png

โ€œA year ago I would have been in a panic but now it does not bother me and, if they want me to, I will take the penalties against Arsenal in the FA Cup on Saturday and against Juventus in the European Cup in Turn next Wednesday.

โ€œThe only problem is I donโ€™t know wether the others will let me take them after also missing penalties against Barcelona and Wolves!

โ€œThe Important thing is that my general form is good even though admit I should have had a hat-trick."

Gordon Cowans.



โ€œMy neck began to stiffen up after the first leg against Juventus and the frightening thing is that in the course of a week, it has hardly improved.

โ€œI must be doubtful for Saturday's game unless something dramatic happens.โ€

Tony Morley.



โ€œIt's very sore at the moment but I am sure I will be ready [for Arsenal and Juventus].โ€

Dennis Mortimer.



โ€œThe club doctor la looking at him [Dennis Mortimer] today but he has stud marks on his knee which has swollen up since came off.โ€

Tony Barton.
