Learning "something" from Woy

Woy's saying: '...And in those days, we had these things on the soles of our boots. They were called "studs". And what they did, they stopped you slipping over all the time. Look, I can go this way, that way, and I'm still on me feet...'
 
"And as you turn this way the hairs on your neck will stand up if an opponent is anywhere near .... in that case you can just turn back again and pass to the keeper. Get it ?"
 
Gerrard and Abramovich are two of the most impassive-looking people in football. Tell them anything, from 'the universe is expanding,' to 'I say I say I say: that bald man's painted rabbits on his head cos from a distance they look like hares,' and you'll get exactly the same expression. That's probably why the Chelski move fell through - Gerrard and Abramovich sat staring at each other and each one got freaked out by the other's poker face.
 
I can only imagine Roy's pep talk in the dressing room before the Italy game.

"We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. I didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones..."
