| Bill Nicholson | The greatest football manager never to be knighted. Single-handedly made Tottenham fantastic for over a decade, introduced Glenn Hoddle to the world, took no shit, talked no bollocks and lived to be about 475.
Oh yeah, one other thing too - pretty much invented 'push and run' football. Matt Busby my arse! |
|
| Bill Nicholson | For building that amazing Spurs side of the 60s and managing the first team to do the double in the 20th century and became the first British team to win a European competition!
Not only that but they did it in style and none of the bullshit you get from the likes of Chelsea! |
|
| Brighton Footie Fans | For taking "We can see you holding hands" and "Does your boyfriend know you''re here?" chants with such good grace. |
|
| Big Bill Werbinuik | Came to my club for an exhibition. Drunk lager all night, beat everyone at snooker (including a century during his last game - post 11 pints), showed an amazing array of trickshots, and let out an enormous ripper of a fart mid game and was proud of it. And his patter was brilliant.
Hero. |
|
| Bill Shankly | For being the man who single handedly rebuilt Liverpool when they were languishing at the bottom of the second division.
For taking them to the top of the league on a shoestring budget.
For laying the footprints for Liverpool in Europe.
Most importantly, for saying before a match with Ajax (and an 18 year old by the name of Johan in the team) "We have nothing to worry about the boy Cruyff". |
|
| Bill Werbeniuk | A flawed but thoroughly decent snooker player from Canada who would regularly down eight pints before a match, followed by a pint every frame. Holding the cue by the right end would be impressive enough after that lot, but he remained in the world''s top-16 for eight years. Think Freddie Flintoff scoring an Ashes ton straight AFTER his famous all-nighter.
Claimed he needed the booze to stop his hands shaking when he played, and even deducted his bar bill against income tax. He put on so much weight he once split his trousers on live telly while reaching for a long pot.
Eventually forced by the authorities to choose between snooker and the drink, he promptly turned his back on the professional game for good. Died of heart failure in 2003 while living on benefits, aged 56. |
|
| Besty | For being better than Pele or Maradona |
|
| Bobby Robson | The man that no one can speak ill of. Apart from Craig Bellamy. Who is a total cockhead |
|
| Brian Clough | He took the world on and won. . .then took on a bottle and lost. The greatest football manager ever! |
