Den Tuveneir (1921-2004)
"Teige Van Batsen en Gullik moete uug speile, Kaarel."
"Twa nen iele gruute, ne rappe. Iejne mu ne foijne vu veu den bal."
"Tuuvert nog es, want wemmen et êt nuudig."
"Ge moet uug speile, ma da's moelaak natuurlijk!"
"Keshi, da es ne zwette. Dane moete late luupe. Dei manne rieke degoal. Edde Keshi zoan bille al gezien? Da kunde mè 20 man beefstuk van ete."
"Lustert ier, Karel. Veur maa, Maradonaa, tis den besten. Aaj at olles éé: snelaajt, tekniek, ne goej pas. Aaj was beter dan Gullik, Van Batsen, Rijkaar, Romanio, Babalero en Kluivers."
"De twie Zemba's. "
"Toen Anderlecht Nilis en Albert verkocht: "Ge moe kuupe, ni verkuupe."
"Zijn woorden na de 5-5 in Nederland-België: Ast 6-6 was gewèst, adde ze nog nen tiebreak mutte speile."
"Me de Marseille in den taad ik kost ne kaffee gon drinke, want ze koste tege ons toch gin goale moeke."
"La mort, daar denk ik niet aan", zei hij toen hij 80 werd. "Ast mut wil ik iniens weg zaan. Boef, duud. Gien kluteraa int gasthuis."
Raymond Goethals, who coached Marseille to European Cup success in 1993, died on Monday at the age of 83, following a long illness. He also led Anderlecht to win the Cup Winners' Cup in 1978, and coached his native Belgium between 1966 and 1976.
Marseille were stripped of their 1993 title because of match-fixing by their former club president Bernard Tapie. But Tapie has led the tributes to Goethals, describing him as "an extraordinary man".
Tapie admitted: "I am really sad, very sad. He was much more than just a coach.
"He had a nose for detecting young talent, and he was able to adapt to any situation on the pitch. On the human side, he was a fabulous guy who joked around with the players, which showed that he had their respect."
During his time in charge of the national side, Goethals led Belgium to third place in the 1972 European Championships.
He also took Standard Liege to two league titles and a Cup Winners' Cup final, and enjoyed more success after returning to Anderlecht.
