If you worried about falling off the bike, you’d never get on.
The top of it all is then, I really wished him (Solbakken, ed.) To get that victory goal made and piss on those farmers. And I want to be allowed to say “piss on those farmers” because those spectators do not deserve another name.
I start a fire and every time I exercise, I add more fuel. At just the right moment, I strike the match.
I think it was a really bad team they had assembled. I could not see what the party monkey and the toad face would help John Faxe Jensen with.
All I got from van Looy and his cronies was ridicule, not one piece of help or advice. They were very unfair, I was still just a naive young boy really. With Peugeot, and es[Simpson]pecially with Tom [Simpson], it was completely different.

We just have to go out and shout as loud as we can
If you fail in your preparation, you might as well prepare to fail.
Virenque is riding. He (Aldag, ed.) stands perfectly still. He stands still as a German tree in the Harz.

It’s not over until it’s over.
There are some who claim that football is a matter of life and death. It’s an attitude that disappoints me. I can assure you that football is much more than that!
Shut up it was blowing out there and there was also a Spaniard who did not have learned that with not pissing against the wind. So he pissed and I got his piss on my leg. So I was not entirely happy with that.
We had 99% of the game, it was the last 3% that cost us the victory.
The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.
I like Danish humour – I just wish you had more of it.
I would like to play for an Italian club, such as Barcelona.

Football is a fairly simple sport. 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and in the end the Germans win!
The winner blames himself. The loser blames others.
I’m as happy as I can get – meeen I’ve been happier.
Today you can just show bare ass for ten seconds on TV, then you are world famous in Denmark. 25 years ago, it required much more starquality.
It’s not about whether you get knocked down. It’s about whether you get back up again.
