"I'm actually about as famous as a fourth division footballer from the 70s"
- Dylan Moran
About this Quote
In this quote, comic Dylan Moran is comparing his level of popularity to that of a fourth department footballer from the 1970s. This contrast recommends that Moran does not consider himself to be very popular at all. Fourth division footballers were not well-known or highly related to in the 70s, and were often eclipsed by more successful and popular gamers. By equating himself to this level of popularity, Moran is downplaying his own level of recognition and recommending that he is not a family name or extensively recognized figure. This quote likewise highlights the fleeting nature of fame and how it can rapidly fade into obscurity.
This quote is written / told by Dylan Moran somewhere between November 3, 1971 and today. He/she was a famous Comedian from Ireland.
