Mostsonballs... some of John’s best lines

“For those watching in black and white, Spurs are in the all-yellow strip.”

“Brazil – they’re so good it’s like they are running round the pitch playing with themselves.”

“I think this could be our best victory over Germany since the war.”

“The goals made such a difference to the way this game went.”

“And Seaman, just like a falling oak, manages to change direction.”

“Nearly all the Brazilian supporters are wearing yellow shirts – it’s a fabulous kaleidoscope of colour.”

“The World Cup is a truly international event.”

“It looks like a one-man show here, although there are two men involved.”

“Actually, none of the players are wearing earrings. Kjeldberg, with his contact lenses, is the closest we can get.”

“I suppose Spurs are nearer to being out of the FA Cup now than at any other time since the first half of this season, when they weren’t ever in it anyway.”

“What a time to score... 27 minutes!”
