Dialogue in the works of autobiography is quite naturally viewed with some suspicion. How on earth can the writer remember verbatim conversations that happened fifteen, twenty, fifty years ago? But 'Are you playing, Bob?' is one of only four sentences I have ever uttered to any Arsenal player (for the record the others are 'How's the leg, Bob?' to Bob Wilson, recovering from injury the following season; 'Can I have your autograph, please?' to Charlie George, Pat Rice, Alan Ball and Bertie Mee; and, well, 'How's the leg, Brian?' to Brian Marwood outside the Arsenal club shop when I was old enough to know better) and I can therefore vouch for its absolute authenticity. ↗

Being in politics is like being a football coach. You have to be smart enough to understand the game, and dumb enough to think it's important. ↗

I grew up half the time in a small town called Mart, Texas, and half the time in L.A., because I was acting. My high school was crazy about football. ↗

If you can show something as complicated as two people falling in love with just music and camera angles, well, just think about what you can do with football. ↗

Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that. ↗

A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are. ↗
