More quotes by John Toshack
When we have four or five players out it's very difficult to get any continuity at this stage in our development. If I pull the blanket over my head my feet get cold, and if I push it over my feet my head gets cold.
John Toshack
We don't man-mark anybody. I have never, ever done it in 27 years as a manager and I would never do it.
John Toshack

John Toshack

John Toshack
I've been very fortunate and privileged as a player and manager - I've been successful and picked up a lot of knowledge and experience.
John Toshack
