Ian Botham

 

[pasag]

I don't live by "the rules" you know. And if there's one other person who's influenced me in that way I think, someone who is a maverick, someone who does that to the system, then, it's Ian Botham. Because Beefy will happily say "that's what I think of your selection policy, yes I've hit the odd copper, yes I've enjoyed the old dooby, but will you piss off and leave me alone, I'm walking to John O'Groats for some spastics."

 

[four_or_six]

Botham.

Epic. The exact same quote came into my mind when I saw Beefy up for nomination here. Gervais. In agreement too, has to be Botham for me.

 

[zaremba]

Thorpe. For the reasons given by pasag

 

[G.I.Joe]

Thorpe.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Thorpe, but Botham would have walked it had he never picked up a microphone.
