Do you have any funny sporting quotes to share?

I am researching for a book on comments from the crowds at various sporting events – football, cricket , rugby etc.

One of my favourites came at a boxing match refereed by a thin, pasty-faced, over fussy individual.

At the end of a dull round a bored patron yelled: “Referee, how much do you charge to haunt a house.” Quick as a flash, the referee replied: “How many rooms?”

Angus Fraser tells the story of his most glorious moment in cricket, taking the wicket of Brian Lara -LBW for six runs.

Feeling pleased with himself he made his way back to his usual fielding position on the boundary.

Here, a raucous spectator confronted him and said: “Frazer you prat! I didn’t pay £30 to watch you bowl. I came to see Lara bat!”
