Nigel Winterburn Quotations

Lots of players can do it for 10-15 games but we want to see them do it for 40, 50, 100 or 200 games, winning titles again. That will be the big test. Everyone's assuming they will go from strength to strength. I hope they do because it's an exciting team. They haven't played a physical team away for a while and I hope they have learned the lesson that as well as all the good football you play you have to stand up to those teams.

When a new manager comes you will have players that go with the flow and those that moan and groan. The back four was established and it was probably easier for us to go with it because we were part of that team anyway.

We had a man sent off, conceded late and most teams would probably have collapsed and thought it wasn't their year. But we had a belief nobody could beat us and went on an incredible run.

You only have to look at the way they handled Tony Adams and Paul Merson, they stood by those players and they helped them as much as they could. So, in that sense, if he's got personal problems then he's at the best club.
