Best Quote:
"Today's highly successful groundsman knows that the key to a healthy pitch is the regular application and use of an appropriate fertiliser. A fertiliser high in phosphate is usually best for sports turf. On no account is it advisable to take advice from a lay person. Under some circumstances, however, he should seek the assistance of the team manager by insisting that he put out a load of shit on the pitch at 3 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon. Chris Waddle is rumoured to be very helpful in this respect."
