Mint Quote by Csabai Márk
““... úgy lendítette felém a piszkafát, hogy Németh Miklós sem tette szebben a gerelyével a hetvenhatos montreali olimpia idején. Egyenesen felém repült az éles vas. Jól emlékszem, mikor utoljára vettek célba hasonló tárggyal, olyan csúnya vége lett a történetnek, mint a kezeletlen trippernek.””
