You'd need a whole thread for Yogi Berra alone.

"That restaraunt has gotten so crowded that nobody goes there anymore" is still his alltime classic.

Might be an urban legend but apparently one commentator at a snooker match once said.

"For those of you with Black & White Televisions, the blue ball is behind the pink".

There are some really good football (soccer) ones out there.  
some funny ones here (http://www.sports-quotes.com/soccer/)

Here's another from keegan- "I'll never play at Wembley again, unless I play at Wembley again."

There are quite a few out there from ron atkinson too such as this one "Well, Clive, it's all about the two Ms - movement and positioning."

Yogi is definitely the undisputed heavyweight champ of quotes...

My favorite one is from his coaching days...

"Alright guys, pair up in threes."

Yogi was a genius.

"I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat, and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?"
