More quotes from Peter Shilton
The money is in a different league these days, of course, but I have special memories of the 60s and 70s which players today don’t have. There wasn’t the same celebrity attitude and media exposure. We had a bit more freedom.

I’m still very professional about my fitness. I stay in trim as I always did.
Being fit will keep you mentally sharp and people forget that.
