John Henshaw: Jack Friar

Quotes 

• Jack Friar : You see, In England a German "no" means "yes".

• Jack Friar : Hey, when was the last time we won 3-0? Tell me that, any of you. This lad could save us from relegation.

  Margaret : This is not about football, Dad, and you know it. He's a German, you can't just ignore that. He's a bloody Nazi. He raised his arm like the others and shouted "Heil, Hitler!" But maybe you'd have raised yours if it'd stop the team getting relegated.

• Jack Friar : Look, it's all or nothing now. It's shit or bust. We can't afford to lose another game, so I want this Kraut to play for us. I've seen him play and I'm telling you, lads, he's the best goalkeeper that'll ever stand between them poles.

• Bert Trautmann : In Germany we say "thank you".

  Jack Friar : Thank you? Why should I thank you? Do you know you nearly got me lynched in there? Why didn't you keep your gob shut for one minute? You know, you've got two options. It's either football or hard labour. I'm doing you a favour, mate.

  Bert Trautmann : We should be clear. The reason you brought me out was to help yourself. And if you want me again playing, then you take me out of the camp more.

  Jack Friar : You don't want much, do you?
