Brain Or Brawn?

Funny things football players.

Well they are according to this man.

After I heard him, I thought I should go off and find out more. For instance, he suggests that football players are renowned for saying daft things.

Here are some of the wise words I have found:

Sharp as a knife.................
Reporter to Newcastle's Shola Ameobi: 'Do you have a nickname?'
Ameobi: 'No, not really'
Reporter: 'So what does Bobby Robson call you?'
Ameobi: 'Carl Cort.'
The nocturnal type........................
If you don't believe you can win, there is no point in getting out of bed at the end of the day.' - Neville Southall (ex-Everton)

From one who understands his immortality..................
'I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well.' - Alan Shearer (Newcastle)
To one who knows about geography..........
I'd like to play for an Italian club, like Barcelona.' - Mark Draper

And of course the best demonstration of mental arithmetic from Leeds United .................
'I would not be bothered if we lost every game long as we won the league.' - Mark Viduka (Leeds)

I'll leave it up to you to decide if Mr Evans was right.
