Football Quote by Jimmy Hill

“I get on so well with lots of Scots, and a man who had a big influence on my career and was a great mate, Johnny Paton, was Scottish. But I became a hate figure in Scotland because of my views on football. That always made me chuckle, and it still does.” quote by Jimmy Hill — Download Open image
