I’ve written once or twice on Peter De Villiers or Div as he is fondly known, most recently in the brilliantly titled “Kykie Snorman!“. So Chris alerted me to a site with all his great quotes, the site is called Devillisms and it is a beaut! Ok well the site isn’t laid out greatly, but it’s got all the information you need. You’ll enjoy some of the old time favorites that left you thinking “This Div fellow must be eating drugs”
A little recap of some of his finer moments:
“If Robbie Deans says it, then it’s different. I mean, Robbie Deans is a good coach and I am not!”
“What I have learned in South Africa is the following: If you take your car to the garage to be repaired and the owner is black and he doesn’t do a good job you will never take it back there again, but if the owner is white and the garage makes a mistake, people say, never mind he made a mistake and will take it back again” — Div in response to a question over Ricky Januarie who was booed in the first test against the Lions after Januarie knocked on the ball.
“If I lie in hospital and I hear they are putting someones head back on that was ripped off by Schalk (Burger) then I’d say: That’s Schalk, he (plays) aggressive but he’s not malicious”
Crisis in your life have you ever heard such words of wisdom coming out of one mans mouth? I surely haven’t!
Check out the Devillisms website , and later on in the day we’ll get on to some good old Facebook WAR, I’ve been in the trenches!
