  'A cracking compendium of who said what, about whom' - TIME OUT From Bill Shankly's deadpan statement that football 'is much more serious' than life and death, to the priceless gaffes - intentional or otherwise - of such commentators as Brian Johnson and David Coleman, sport has provided some of the funniest, most memorable and most widely disseminated of 20th-century quotations in English. CASSELL'S SPORTS QUOTATIONS offers over 3000 of these quotations. Listed under themes which include all of the key international sports from Athletics to Tennis, major sports stars from Muhammad Ali to Zinedine Zidane, plus various more general sporting topics.
