Cantona's got a number of memorable ones.

I love that Best quote.

May be from people in the wrong type of football, but I like these from Namath and Lombardi, respectively:

"When you win, nothing hurts"

"If it doesn't matter who wins or loses, then why do they keep score?"

Not really my favourite quote, but when CR7 used "polemic" last season, it was great.

And I loved it when he said he would be beautiful soon after his eye injury.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

I don' think I have one favourite but here are some:

Hristo Stoichkov:
"Soccer is simple… Your movement on the field is important, and you need to have the right mentality, fighting in every game, in every practice, for every ball."

"The one who should be worried is the defender, because I know my potential."

"There are two Christs… One plays for Barcelona, and the other is in heaven."
To the Romanian journalists:
"While I was driving Mercedes you were riding bikes."

Sir Alex Ferguson:

"At one point, I thought it would end up 20-20. But common sense took over - or boring football."

"We have people coming here to admire the scenery and enjoy their crisps." (on Manchester United fans)
