Battle of the Infamous, allsports edition

[fredfertang]

Selection of jailbirds

Lee Hughes
Marlon King
Mike Tyson
Jan Molby

.... and I can't recall if Bruce Grollybar ever did serve time, but he certainly should have

 

[GIMH]

Hans Segers worth a mention as well, for keeping Everton up, the ****. And then Johnson went there, Corfe ruined us, Johnson came back and didn't care and all of a sudden 13 years in the third. **** that.

Nominate Frank Corfe as well, fat thieving **** (RIP)

 

[Furball]

Martin O'Neill, for being a massive ****.
Will Carling for having one of the most punchable faces in human existence.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Somewhat surprised given Furball's activity in this thread that Neil Lennon hasn't been nominated yet. Just a complete ****.

 

[nightprowler10]

Nominate

Michael Jordan
Kobe Bryant
Bill Laimbeer
Dwayne Wade

I could go either way on LeBron James.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I could go either way on LeBron James.

 

[nightprowler10]

Haha, I have been pretty consistent tbf.

Inconvenient announcement:

Sadly, we will need secondings this time, for awareness and participation's sake. Y'all get five each, preferably not your own nominations. First battle upon confirmation of first 48.

Edit: where's Craig Bellamy? Thought he'd be the first in every EPL fanboi's crosshairs.

[GIMH]

I've grown quite fond of Bellamy over the years tbh

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Edit: where's Craig Bellamy? Thought he'd be the first in every EPL fanboi's crosshairs.

I used to ****ing hate Craig Bellamy, then he came to my club and played his heart out every match and didn't step a foot wrong. tbh I wish he was still there, he'd give us something different that's for sure.

That goal at The Swamp that put us level 3-3 still one of my favourite City goals of the tycoon era. Up there with Elano's free kick against Newcastle, Robinho's chip against Stoke. Way behind AGUERROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO though.

 

[Uppercut]

He's definitely one of the most lovable ****s. You always read about him being a **** off the field and think he's a ****, but then you watch him play a game and can't help but like him again.

 

[sledger]

Have never much found that about him tbh. Just another detestable scrote of a pro-footballer.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Lance Armstrong (cycling)
Diego Maradona (Association Football)

Muhammad Ali

Luis Suarez

I'll second these.

 

[nightprowler10]

Second Dennis Rodman and Metta Wold Peace.

 

[social]

Bit late but Kostas Kenteris and Katerina Thanou deserve a mention

Despite being very ordinary athletes for their entire careers, they won gold and silver respectively at the 2000 Olympics not long after teaming up with a convicted drug cheat for a coach

Spent the next 4 years avoiding doping tests at every opportunity and finished their careers in digrace by withdrawing from their home Olympics days before competition after allegedly staging a fake motorcycle crash in an attempt to avoid dope tests

Pair of absolute ****s

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Bill Lambieer is the only basketball player that should be on this list. What a ****.

 

[morgieb]

Tom Waterhouse's dad count?
