"This is the 671st game in World Cup history, starting all the way back in 1930 in Uruguay … and no I haven't seen them all."

"Different class … DIFFERENT CLASS!"

"GREAT play by the Mexican there! He took on the whole shagbag lot o' them!"

"And there it is, the international symbol of peace – the pigeon!"

"They're going for silver, they’re going for gold. John Treacy has one hundred metres to go. In the past Ireland have won bronze medals with John Caldwell, Freddie Gilroy, ‘Socks’ Byrne, Jim McCourt, Hugh Russell. They've won golds with Pat O'Callaghan twice, Bob Tisdall, Ron Delaney. They've won silvers with John McNally, Fred Tiedt, Wilkins and Wilkinson and for the thirteenth time an Irish medal goes to John Treacy. The little man with the great heart."

"It's a rip-roarer, an absolutely titanic struggle if that's the right thing to say about a Belfast man... Make sure the rivets are tight and away you go!"

"A modest young lady with her head the same size as it was when she was a child."

"...Jim ‘the Blue Panther’ Rock..."

"Willie, you might as well take out your money and spend it. Spend it on a cruise. A cruise around Andy Lee."

"C'MON BERNARD! ...DELIVER THE MILK AND GO TO THE NEXT HOUSE!!!"

"If you only knew the dreams in that little boy's head all those years ago. You don't know how lucky I am. I will never retire because even if they retire me, I'll find something else to do."
