Quotes from Bruce Grobbelaar

Anyone who comes out of Brazil at a young age and comes over to Europe has got to have a big heart and a big personality.

The biggest memory I have is the 1984 European Cup final against Roma and my 'spaghetti legs' routine during the penalty shoot-out that won us the trophy. People said I was being disrespectful to their players, but I was just testing their concentration under pressure. I guess they failed that test.

Going through my time as a coach in Zimbabwe and in South Africa, I know for a fact if there is anything dodgy in a game, look at the three people in black. They are the catalyst.

I can only say sorry for the past. I can't change it.

If you ever look at my history of coaching in South Africa, no team has ever gone down. And I'm talking about places in the league. They've always gone up.

Liverpool had African players from the '50s and '60s. There were goalkeepers in the early days from South Africa. Then in 1981 there was a guy who came to Anfield. They say 'who is this guy' and it is me; I am African.

I coached five clubs in South Africa and I was successful with them.

I like to be in big open spaces with high skies.

If you're going to do a spaghetti legs routine where else but in Rome to do it. The home of spaghetti!

Alisson is undoubtedly one of the best goalkeepers in the world and he deserves to be put on that pedestal. Him and Manuel Neuer are probably the best two when it comes to angles - those two are the very best in the world at getting their angles right, they don't have to dive because they aren't out of position.

I had a couple of agents, but then I went on my own. I thought I could negotiate my own deals and it was probably my biggest mistake.

I mentioned that Mignolet is bad at coming for crosses and as soon as that went into the newspapers, he got better.

You can't worry about the game you've just played, because you can't do anything about it. And the next time you go onto the field, don't do what you did in the last game!

I still have dreams about Hillsborough. Well, nightmares, anyway.

If you can stay alive and enjoy life, that's the whole heart and soul of life. That's why I played with a smile on my face all these years.

If Alisson stays at Liverpool long enough he could break all the records that myself and Ray Clemence achieved.

In the Eighties I was brash. I said things and it upset a lot of people.

I broke Steve McMahon's nose twice in one night.

You're as good as your last game, and that's how you get over it in any walk of life.

When I left the army, I left for good.

I had to learn some hard lessons in my early days because I was a bit of a showman, a kind of Jekyl and Hyde character.

Mohamed Salah, well if you go to Egypt he is a god there.

I will never apologise for laughing at life and enjoying football.

Liverpool is a family, it is not a club, you don't come in and out of this club without it leaving a mark.
