Ian Scott Holloway (born 12 March 1963) is an English footballmanager and former player. He now works as a pundit on Sky Sports' Coverage of the Football League Championship.
A midfielder, he began his career at hometown club Bristol Rovers in 1981, going on to play for Wimbledon, Brentford, Torquay United (on loan), back to Bristol Rovers for a second spell, Queens Park Rangers and, finally, a third spell back at Bristol Rovers, where he became player-manager before ending his playing career in 1999. He has also managed Queens Park Rangers, Plymouth Argyle, Leicester City, Blackpool and Crystal Palace. As he did with Blackpool three years earlier, Holloway managed Crystal Palace to promotion to the Premier League in May 2013, but after the club had won only one of their opening eight games he left, by mutual consent, on 23 October 2013 after less than a year in charge. On 6 January 2014 Holloway signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Millwall; this was terminated in March 2015.
"He's come to our notice. I will be seeing him in the next couple of days."
"If you lose at home, twice in a row, it's not a nice feeling and we're not used to that."
"Right now, everything is going wrong for me - if I fell in a barrel of boobs, I'd come out sucking my thumb!"
"With everyone else I've got in midfield, I don't think Marcus will be patient enough."
"He's always had a short fuse and I was going to try and cure him. He's slightly damaged goods, but I think he could be brilliant if I sort him out."
"We played him in a match situation and he really impressed me. We have signed him to the end of the season so we can have a good look at him."
"It's very difficult to bring in players with the current rules and even if you want to bring in a loan you often have to pay loan fees."
"To put it in gentleman's terms, if you've been out for a night and you're looking for a young lady and you pull one, you've done what you set out to do. We didn't look our best today but we've pulled."
"When you see the coals, your first reaction is to think 'my God, that's going to burn me', ... If someone can teach you how to put that out of your mind, how can that fail to make you a better footballer? You may not be able to walk afterwards, which is a risk, but it's one we're willing to take. You have to stop thinking about your family or anything else that is going on outside the game. You can get better at it and the more experience you get the easier it becomes."
I wish you bluebirds in the spring, to give your heart a song to sing, And then a kiss, but more than this, I wish you love. And if you like lemonade to cool you in some lazy glade, I wish you health, and more than wealth, I wish you love. My breaking heart and I agree that you and I could never be, So with my best, my very best, I set you free. I wish you shelter from the storm, a cozy fire to keep you warm, Most of all, when snowflakes fall, I wish you love. I wish you shelter from the storm, a cozy fire to keep you warm, Most of all, when snowflakes fall, hot time, I wish you love.
