“Reinaldo ‘Mostaza’ Merlo, the former River midfielder with the mustard-coloured hair, ordered that the concrete moat around the pitch be ripped out. When it was, the skeleton of the seventh cat buried by Independiente fans in 1967 was discovered. Later that year, Racing won the league,”
Jonathan Wilson, Angels With Dirty Faces: The Footballing History of Argentina

John Cooper Clarke
“people mention murder the moment you arrive i’d consider killing you if i thought you were alive you’ve got this slippery quality it makes me think of phlegm and a dual personality i hate both of them”
John Cooper Clarke, Ten Years in an Open Necked Shirt

“Johan Cruyff, explaining his profound aestheticism, once said that he preferred to hear the noise of the ball striking the post to scoring a goal.”
Jonathan Wilson, Angels With Dirty Faces: The Footballing History of Argentina

“here we are wasting our time writing a book that will be
completely redundant within twelve months. An obsolete artefact. It's
only use being a bit of a social history that records the aspirations
of a certain strata in British society in the late eighties. Nothing

It's obvious that in a very short space of time the Japanese will have
delivered the technology and then brought the price of it down so that
you can do the whole thing at home.”
Jimmy Cauty, The Manual

“It seems telling of the respective fortunes of the two nations that while six of Germany’s squad went on to win the World Cup, seven of the England squad they beat in the final went on to play for Sunderland.”
