Quotable »
I believe that in our countries that have such a history of war, multi-cultural teams can show a harmonious way to live and achieve things together. ... I think about that a lot because had I not worked in football I would have dedicated my life to international relations. (Arsène Wenger, FourFourTwo, Dec 07)
