I've always said when I broke in I was an average player. I had an average arm, average speed and definitely an average bat. I am still average in all of those. ↗

It's a pretty sure thing that the player's bat is what speaks loudest when it's contract time, but there are moments when the glove has the last word. ↗

I haven't seen a player in this game, as long as I've been in it, that can't be pitched to... Barry is an outstanding ballplayer. I respect him an awful lot. I also have confidence in my pitchers that they can pitch to Barry Bonds and get him out. ↗

I know a lot of people on the field - players, coaches, managers - are glad that I'm gone. ↗

The fan is the one who suffers. He cheers a guy to a .350 season then watches that player sign with another team. When you destroy fan loyalties, you destroy everything. ↗

All the stuff about being a drinking club, or having players who were not good enough, I treat as rubbish. ↗

I had to make a change. It was no slight on my staff either. We'd all been at Boro for seven years. But certain players had got too familiar with the set-up. I had to turn it round. Terry was the one man I could think of to do it. So I went for him. ↗

You can't let players do what they wish and be professional. That's a fact. As for the team, Boro had two internationals when I got there in 1995. Now they have more than 15. And they didn't cost the fortune some suggest. ↗

I know I'm not the best. I'm not the best singer, I'm not the best songwriter, I'm not the best player. ↗

A coach's greatest asset is his sense of responsibility - the reliance placed on him by his players. ↗
