Chairman Quote by Gordon Strachan

“I tried to talk to the ref but it is easier to get to see the Pope. If I'm in London again and I get mugged I hope the same number of people turn up to protect me. There were six police, four stewards and even a UN peace observer out there.” quote by Gordon Strachan — Download Open image
