Asha Posted 3 March 2008 Posted 3 March 2008 The best sporting quote of all time imo is from Brian Clough, that he wasn't the best manager in the world but was probably in the top 1. It's not in that list. Pish poor.

Finnegan Posted 3 March 2008 Posted 3 March 2008 "Kirkpatrick to Williams. This is great stuff. Phil Bennett covering, chased by Alistair Scowan. Brilliant! Oh, that's brilliant! John Williams, Brian Williams, Pullin, John Dawes. Great dummy! David, Tom David, the half-way line. Brilliant by Quinnell. This is Gareth Edwards. A dramatic start. What a score!

Narborough Bod Posted 3 March 2008 Posted 3 March 2008 Cliff Morgan's legendary commentary on the 'Greatest Try of all Time', the Barbarians against the All Blacks in Cardiff in 1973. where were the Germans?, but quite frankly, who cares? Barry Davies at the 88 Olympics when we won Gold in hockey - priceless bit of patriotism.
Zingari Posted 3 March 2008 Posted 3 March 2008 MUHAMMAD ALI should own this thread "I'm so fast that last night I turned off the light switch in my hotel room and was in bed before the room was dark." "If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize." "The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses — behind the lines, in the gym and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights." ( my personal favourite )

billabob Posted 4 March 2008 Posted 4 March 2008 Best one was when M.Schumacher was being presented with an award at the Brazillian grand prix by Pele himself, everyone was there watching before the race started. The commentator (Martin Brundle) then did his grid walk and got to the present world Champion Kimi Raikkonen and asked if he has seen the presentation, to which kimi replied with "i was taking a sh*t" on live t.v. Was a classic sporting moment
