你也许会想此人必定十分粗俗,起码是野蛮的
但我要告诉你这远非堪称利物浦最伟大教练最经典的语言,最经典的那句也许你听过
“有些人相信足球事关生死，我对这种态度深表遗憾。我可以向你保证，它比生死重要得多。”
另译'足球无关生死,它高于生死'
理解了这一句,你才更能理解这位红军教练那数不胜数的经典名句和粗口:
If you are first you are first. If you are second you are nothing.
如果你拿了第一，你就是第一，如果你拿了第二，你什么都不是。
Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.”
足球是项简单的运动，传球、接球，让自己能够接到队友的传球，足球太TMD简单了！
You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are. In my time at Liverpool we always said we had the best two teams on Merseyside, Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves.
你必须坚信自己是最好的，然后确保你是！在我执教利物浦期间，我们总说在Merseyside郡，有两支最好的球队，一支是利物浦另一支是利物浦预备队。
If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just pop it in the net and we'll discuss your options afterwards.
如果你不知道足球是怎么踢的，那么你只管把球往网里边踢吧，比赛后我们再来讨论你踢的对不对。
The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.
裁判的问题在于，他们懂得规则，却不懂足球。
Where are you from?
I'm a Liverpool fan from London.
Well laddie . . . . What's it like to be in heaven?
你来自那里？
我是从伦敦来的利物浦球迷。
很好，年轻人，这种感觉是不是象是在天堂？
Aim for the sky and you'll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you'll stay on the floor.
以天空为目标，你将能触摸到天花板。但以天花板为目标，你只能呆在地板上。
If Everton were playing down the bottom of my garden, I'd draw the curtains.
假如埃弗顿在我的花园旁边踢球，我会拉上所有的窗帘。（埃弗顿是利物浦的同城死敌）
My life is my work. My work is my life.
我的生活就是工作，我的工作就是生活。
What can you do, playing against 11 goalposts?
当面对11跟门柱时，你能做什么？（主场一场0-0后）
Sickness would not have kept me away from this one. If I'd been dead, I would have had them bring the casket to the ground, prop it up in the stands and cut a hole in the lid.
疾病并不能让我远离足球。假如我死了，我会让他们带着骨灰盒到球场来，把骨灰洒在看台上，盒子埋进土中。（在1971年足总杯半决赛击败Everton后）
I know this is a sad occasion but I think that Dixie would be amazed to know that even in death he could draw a bigger crowd than Everton can on a Saturday Afternoon.
这是一个悲伤的时刻。但我想Dixie会很惊奇的，在参加他葬礼的人都比周末看Everton比赛的人多。（在Dixie Dean的葬礼上）
Just tell them I completely disagree with everything they say!
告诉他们，我不同意他们说的每一件事。（当被意大利记者环绕，不得不通过手势交流时，他对翻译说）
Ay, here we are with problems at the top of the league.
唉！我们在积分榜前列，这就是问题所在。（当记者提出利物浦面临困难时）
Take that poof bandage off. And what do you mean about YOUR knee? It's Liverpool's knee!
把那绷带拿下来。什么意思？你的膝盖？那是利物浦的膝盖！（当Tommy Smith向他解释，膝盖受伤时）
If a player is not interfering with play or seeking to gain an advantage, then he should be.
假如一个球员并没妨碍比赛或从中获取利益，那越位又有什么关系。
Fire in your belly comes from pride and passion in wearing the red shirt. We don't need to motivate players because each of them is responsible for the performance of the team as a whole. The status of Liverpool's players keeps them motivated.
胃里的火源自身着红色球衣的热情和自豪。我们不需要激励球员，因为他们每个人都会为球队的整体表现负责。利物浦球员的地位是对他们的最好激励。
If he isn't named Footballer of the Year, football should be stopped and the men who picked any other player should be sent to the Kremlin
假如他没被选为本年度最佳球员，那以后足球比赛就别进行了。那些评委都该被送到克里姆林宫。（关于Tommy Smith）
Yes, Roger Hunt misses a few, but he gets in the right place to miss them.
没错，Roger Hunt错失了一些机会。但他总能抢到这个点，把球射失。（对60年代一名记者说）
最后一句:
I was only in the game for the love of football- and I wanted to bring back happiness to
the people of Liverpool.
我只是出于对足球的热爱，而且我想把快乐带给利物浦人民。
