English Football

Famous quotes containing the words english and/or football:

    The English Bible—a book which, if everything else in our language should perish, would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power.
    Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.
    Donald Hall (b. 1928)
