90 minutes Quote by Omid Djalili

“I used to play Sunday football, but I have all but given up, because I'm too old and fat. After a 45-minute match I'd end up spending the rest of the day recovering in bed with baby oil and painkillers, knackered; a full 90 minutes would write off my whole week.” quote by Omid Djalili
