Freddie & Johnno.

Johnno one of those very rare English sportsmen who was actually the best at what he did. Could seem to lift a team just by the force of his own considerable will. Won everything as a player.

Woods annoys me. Lots. So Fittler takes the garland in the first. Remember when he brought the ARL Knagaroos, shorn of the Super League players, for the 95 WC. I finally thought we might best them. Could we ****. Fittler was 22 or 23 and lead the team like a 40-test veteran. Rate him only behind Johns in league players I've seen.

Woods annoys me. Lots.

Out of curiosity, why?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Out of curiosity, why?

The aching self-regard, the childish petulance on the rare occasions he loses and those ****ing nerdy fist pumps when he wins. Lack of class/humility, basically.

EDIT: I know that he's a United player but he was good at the period he was playing and I like/enjoy Motorcyle racing

And i know I'm throwing myself under a train here but I also voted for Giggs in the opening round...
