Better Quote by Owen Hargreaves
“We would win a game 2-0 and we would get back in the dressing room, where you would have people in there like Franz Beckenbauer and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. You would have a drink to celebrate and they would be saying, 'That was rubbish, you guys will have to do better than that.'”
