2008 was not only a great year for football but also for hilarious quotes. Here are a few of our favourites: 
"I was made to stand on a chair and sing Lulu's 'Shout' to the lads as part of the initiation... it was only after I'd finished - and they'd stopped laughing - that I found out I was the only new player to do it." Lee Trundle after joining Bristol City "I look forward to taking the club into a new era." New Luton Chairman David Pinkney speaking before the club went into administration, were hit by a raft of FA charges and docked 10 points in November. "Lampsy, I reckon. The girls like him a little bit. If I was that way I'd see something in him." John Terry’s response when asked to name the best-looking player in the Chelsea squad. "There's a few ugly ones. Carlo is probably the best looking." Though modestly Lampard selects keeper Carlo Cudicini. "I didn't know it was against the rules." Cabofriense defender Cleberson after being booked for kissing the referee during a 3-1 defeat by Botafogo at the Maracana. "Well I'm the Prince and I'm sort of slaying a dragon - which is something I've never done before, obviously." David Beckham talking about his role in Disney’s ‘Dream Portrait’ adverts. "There's more chance of me flying Concorde to the moon blindfolded than there is of you taking Wales to the World Cup." Robbie Savage’s alleged comment to Wales manager John Toshack. "We scored three today and 99 times out of 10 that means a win." Brighton assistant manager Dean White after the 3-3 draw with Cheltenham. "My reputation will always precede me to the day I die. For some people, that probably can't be quickly enough." Joey Barton’s honest assessment of himself. "I should have punched him harder." Eric Cantona revealed the main regret about the infamous kung-fu incident at Crystal Palace. "You probably think I'm Kenny Sansom!" Little Britain's Matt Lucas on meeting Arsene Wenger, after the Frenchman admitted he had never seen the show. "Kanu? He's about 47." When asked the age of Kanu, who claims to be 31, Spurs manager Harry Redknapp replies with typical humour. "Ashley Cole is getting a good deal of stick, but you would expect that when you're playing away from home." Match of the Day commentator Steve Wilson during the Pompey-Chelsea game. "Gareth Jellyman of Mansfield Town has been sent off, hope he doesn't throw a wobbly!" Jeff Stelling on Soccer Saturday. "Scholes is now on his feet in front of us, but very gingerly." ITV commentator Clive Tyldesley during Aalborg v Man Utd. "He's a big unit - and if he's Junior Agogo, I certainly wouldn't like to meet Senior Agogo." Fox Sports commentator Simon Hill during the Australia v Ghana match.
