Ian Rush left Liverpool to join Juventus but couldn't settle. "It was like living in a foreign country". |  |
| Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one’s lifetime. (Mark Twain)

In the early 70s, in their last game before Xmas, Derby players took the field each carrying a large square white board with a single black letter on it. They held the boards above their heads and faced the main stand so the boards read HAPPY CHRISTMAS. They then turned to the opposite stand and held up the boards so they read SAMTSIRHC YPPAH. |  | | |

There's also a story about McAteer cutting the bottom bit off the back of a shirt because it was longer than the front and he thought he'd managed to shrink the back but not the front in the wash. |  | | |

The pizza story was always told about the New York Yankees Catcher, Yogi Berra, who had a world of paux fas.
It ain't over till it's over
When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
It's like déjà vu all over again.
You can observe a lot by just watching.
No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded.
If you don't know where you are going, you'll end up someplace else.
The future ain't what it used to be.
Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.
Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.
If the world were perfect, it wouldn't be. | |

The other McAteer one was he apparently finished training & went to get into his car but realised he’d locked the keys inside. A couple of Scally’s saw the problem & said to him if you get us a coat hanger we can drag the window down & unlatch the lock.
He returned with a wooden one. | | | |
