==Quotes by Anguy==
{{Quote|'''Arya''': You missed.<br>
'''Anguy''': More fool you if you think so. They go where I send them.{{ref|ASOS|13}}|[[Arya Stark]] and Anguy}}

{{Quote|'''Tom''': I'd dearly love someone to sing with, that I would. [[Lem]] can't carry a tune, and our longbow lad only knows [[marcher]] ballads, every one of them a hundred verses long.<br>
'''Anguy''': We sing real songs in the marches.{{ref|ASOS|13}}|[[Tom of Sevenstreams]] and Anguy}}

{{Quote|When I don't fancy a man's eyes, I put an arrow through one.{{ref|ASOS|13}}|Anguy to [[Husband]]}}

{{Quote|'''Sandor''': You didn't leave me enough [[gold]] to buy a cup of [[wine]], you whoresons.<br>
'''Anguy''': We're [[outlaws]]. Outlaws steal. It's in the songs, if you ask nice [[Tom of Sevenstreams|Tom]] may sing you one. Be thankful we didn't kill you.<br>
'''Sandor''': Come try it, Archer. I'll take that quiver off you and shove those arrows up your freckly little arse.{{ref|ASOS|39}}|[[Sandor Clegane]] and Anguy}}

{{Quote|'''Lem''': How'd [[Sandor Clegane|that bloody bastard]] get all that [[gold]] anyhow?<br>
'''Anguy''': He won the [[Hand's tourney]]. In [[King's Landing]]. I won a fair fortune myself, but then I met [[Dancy]], [[Jayde]], and [[Alayaya]]. They taught me what roast [[swan]] tastes like, and how to bathe in [[Arbor]] [[wine]].<br>
'''Harwin''': Pissed it all away, did you?<br>
'''Anguy''': Not all. I bought these boots, and this excellent dagger.{{ref|ASOS|39}}|[[Lem]], Anguy, and [[Harwin]]}}

==Quotes about Anguy==
{{Quote|That afternoon a boy named Anguy, an unheralded commoner from the [[Dornish Marches]], won the [[Hand's tourney|archery competition]], outshooting Ser [[Balon Swann]] and [[Jalabhar Xho]] at a hundred paces after all the other bowmen had been eliminated at the shorter distances. Ned sent [[Alyn]] to seek him out and offer him a position with the [[House Stark guards|Hand's guard]], but the boy was flush with [[wine]] and victory and riches undreamed of, and he refused.{{ref|AGOT|30}}|thoughts of [[Eddard Stark]]}}

{{Quote|'''Tom''': Boy, put up that sword now, unless you're wanting to be hurt. It's too big for you, lad, and besides, Anguy here could put three shafts through you before you could hope to reach us.<br>
'''Arya''': He could not, and I'm a girl.{{Ref|ASOS|13}}|[[Tom of Sevenstreams]] and [[Arya Stark]]}}

{{Quote|The archer's hand moved quicker than Arya would have believed. His shaft went hissing past her head within an inch of her ear and buried itself in the trunk of the willow behind her. By then the bowman had a second arrow notched and drawn. She'd thought she understood what [[Syrio Forel|Syrio]] meant by quick as a s[[nake]] and smooth as summer silk, but now she knew she hadn't.{{ref|ASOS|13}}|thoughts of [[Arya Stark]]}}

==Behind the Scenes==
[[George R. R. Martin]] was probably inspired by his father when he wrote about Anguy spending ten thousand golden dragons on women and drinking as his father won ten thousand dollars by gambling during World War II. He had a good time with the money, spending it all on women, beer, nightclubs, and the track.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20041208145452/http://www.asimovs.com/_issue_0410/theheartofasmall.shtml The Heart of a Small Boy by George R.
