A great quote......

Postby Ego Tripping » Wed Oct 15, 2008 9:17 am

Dundee United chairman Eddie Thompson has died after a long illness. He recently said this which i think sums up what football is really about

"You can change your wife, your house, your car but you can never change your team. Chairmen come and go, boards come and go but the fans remain. They are the one true constant. I've just been a custodian of the club."

RIP

Excellent sentiment that and sums the whole 'football supporting game' up - beautiful.

Some great Football Quote's here;

just a couple I picked out

"Soccer is the biggest thing that's happened in creation. It's bigger than any 'ism' you can name."- Alan Brown
