n You do not play bad because you go to a disco or you drink something or smoke. There must be other reasons. Berti Vogts, German coach on the drinking debate at Euro 96.

n It's not my problem whether it crossed the line. If it did I would remind you: this is how England won the 1966 World Cup. Bobby Mikhailov, Bulgaria's goalkeeper, after television replays showed that Romania had been denied an equaliser.

n Terry [Venables] felt this was one particular line that he was able to pass by. Response from the FA to Uri Geller's offer to psyche up the England team.

n It could only happen in Britain. At the French Open last week they even allowed Yannick Noah to sing a song on Centre Court. David Lloyd, British Davis Cup captain, on the decision to put Tim Henman, Britain's No 1, on an outside court at Queen's Club.
