Ireland National Football

Famous quotes containing the words ireland, national and/or football:

    Come, fix upon me that accusing eye.

    Saving the rhyme rats hear before they die.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    Idon’t enjoy getting knocked about on a football field for other people’s amusement. I enjoy it if I’m being paid a lot for it.
