QUOTES OF THE WEEK

Before that I was like a child, sort of waiting to do the next stupid thing. But what I have learned is not to make the same mistake twice. Eric Cantona on his kung-fu kick and the community service sentence it earned him.

Will I be strengthening my squad? Well, put it this way. Manchester United have just won the League again and they will be strengthening their side Ron Atkinson, Coventry City's manager.

They could have taken the mickey out of us when they were 52-0 ahead - but they didn't. Jon Callard, of Bath, reflects on the union side's meeting with Wigan under rugby league rules.

I still think I have got another two or three left in me. As long as I still have the buzz for the big tournaments, I will carry on playing. Stephen Hendry after sealing a record-equalling sixth world snooker title.

I can't believe it. Nothing surprises me in football but I certainly didn't see this one coming, that's for sure. Barry Fry after being sacked as manager of Birmingham.
