Patience is a virtue Mr MwepuLlunga. As is getting the right answer in this quiz. So congratulations to <deep breath> eltigreferoz, rehab polga now, Clysidious, Ziggy, Steph, Laura, for all correctly identifying the serial shtupper as George Best.
Today’s effort , in the ungoogleable competition that is keeping Peter / Jordan off the front pages, should separate the men from the boys. Who cleverly put these words one after the other?
Barry Fry was Birmingham’s manager at the time, and I also received a call from him. It went like this: “Mark. I’ve followed your career since your Northwich days. Come and show these c**ts how to pass a ball!!!”
Leave your answer below, and the actual answer will be unveiled in tomorrow’s installment.
George Best may have made some bad decisions on his illustrious life, but when a blonde air hostess 26 years his junior agreed to marry him in 1995, few questioned his judgement. Since rising to fame on the legendary star’s arm, Alex Best was no stranger to appearances in lad’s mags in the late nineties, and in 2004, she degraded herself shot back into the spotlight on I’m a Celebrity…
The number seven shirt is considered the most prestigious at Old Trafford, having been worn previously by the likes of George Best, Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona and David Beckham.
Cristiano Ronaldo was supposed to be the next great player to achieve legend status wearing the number with which he has become obsessed, but it looks like he has craned his extraordinarily long neck in the direction of Madrid.
Paddy Power still make Ronaldo 5/4 favourite to be wearing the shirt next season, while the second favourite is for nobody to inherit the number for the coming campaign should the 42-goal Portuguese leave: say what you will about Ronny’s performance over the season just past, but he surely hasn’t done enough to have his number retired.
The Spoiler presents the best of the angry, drunk and depressed
The main issue that footballers have is that once away from the pitch, what is there to do? God forbid they have to pick up a book and read! The lucky ones play golf and hang out with Gary Neville, while the rest of them stare blank-eyed into the depths of their tortured souls.
How about this team for a freaky dressing room!
GK Mark Bosnich
There was a time when the Australian looked set to become the greatest goalkeeper the world had ever seen, but then he set eyes of silly Sophie Anderton, and went about shoveling cocaine up his nose instead of training. He then became a little bit weird.
DL Ben Thatcher
A horrible man, Thatcher will be remembered mainly for his revolting use of his elbows - most notably on Pedro Mendes of Portsmouth, who took such a wallop that he had a seizure. Serious violence issues, he makes the line-up in front of Ashley Cole, who isn’t so much troubled as just a total bastard.
DC Tony Adams
Forget the straight-faced gentlemanly MOTD2 demeanor, there was a time when Adams would hurl back the beers and set off fire extinguishers in Pizza Hut - all because he was drunk, the idiot. Then there was the time he smashed a Ford Sierra into a wall, shortly before going to prison. Oops (hic!).
DC Paul McGrath
McGrath had the look of a man who would silently strangle people in alleyways, but as defenders go, he was brilliant. Problem was, he was so addicted to drink that he once thought it wise to wolf down some lighter fluid (apparently). Euch.
