    • Quotes
      • Sidney McLoughlin: You know, I knew a fella once, dreamt of bein' a pro footballer, just like you. He had talent, just like you. Maybe even could have made it, but he'll never know, 'cause he was scared. Wouldn't take a chance. Didn't take the risks. And do you know what? Even since then, he's taken every chance that's come his way. Took risks when everybody around him told him not ta, as if trying to make up for that decision all those years ago. Don't you make the same mistake that he did.
