"There is nothing wrong with trying to win, so long as you don't set the prize above the game.There is no dishonour in defeat, so long as you play to the limit of your strength and skill.What matters above all is that the game should be played in the right spirit, with the utmost resource of skill and courage, with fair play and no favour, with every man playing as a member of the team, the result accepted without bitterness or conceit." Sir Matt Busby
