County Football

Famous quotes containing the words county and/or football:

“In the County Tyrone, in the town of Dungannon,”
—Unknown. The Old Orange Flute (l. 1)

“People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
