Mine's about the boxer Roberto Duran. He allegedly persued his career in the ring after knocking out a horse in one punch for a dare when he was a teenager.

the one about Tony Yeboah
sleeping with the Zimbabwe coach's wife. actually, i think that one is true. but it's still my favourite.

it's a great story though
yeah it is excellent
....

the story about ashley cole putting a phone up his arse
and having an affair with jermaine jenas. and sol campbell.
I thought that one was true
I misread the thread
it is true.
actually I don't think Sol was involved
not Jermaine!
hes got a girlfriend and everything!
actually i think the ashley cole - phone one is true
but i heard that the reason campbell once stormed off the pitch was because he found out jenas and cole were having sexy time and he was jealous. i dont think its true. i want it to be true though.
oh jermaine
why chose ashely cole, hes a dickhead, you could do much better!
that would be so brilliant if it was true though.
it is true
the cunt
George Weah has this cousin, right?
Ali Dia!
Legend.
Keith Curle getting sacked from Mansfield Town for shagging one of the youth team players
Lennox Lewis being gay and having an affair with Sol Campbell.
That or the Seth Johnson wages request.
What's the Seth Johnson wages request?
from Wikipedia
'There is a story that when Johnson arrived at Leeds to discuss his contract, his agent wanted to hold out for £13,000 a week. Peter Ridsdale entered the room and said "Right, I'm sorry but I can only offer you thirty thousand a week". Johnson's agent uttered some exclamation of disbelief and so Ridsdale said "Alright, thirty-seven thousand then"'
:D
....
everytime i hear/tell this the figures get bigger and bigger.
^ this
haha :D
There are numerous versions. The general jist runs:
Johnson and Johnson's agent discussing forthcoming meeting with Ridsdale re: wages when he moves to Leeds.
'If he offers you £10,000 take it straight away'
Walk into office:
Ridsdale: 'Hello. I can offer you £20,000 and no more'
Johnson and agent look at each other in shock.
Ridsdale misconstrues look, thinks they want more
Ridsdale: 'Ok, £30,000, that's my final offer'
Verily, Seth Johnson earned three times more than he'd originally anticipated, all because Peter Ridsdale is the worst businessman in the entire known universe.
:D
everyone's gay with campbell!
i wouldn't say that to his brother...

whats the url for his page?
I bet its got a ruff ryders logo

it's gone, I think
which is a shame, it was funny. 'Don't get it twisted' was his profile motto, the knob.
here's Oliver Kahn's though

'I am a famous goalkeeper but not only... I am a kind of lone wolf. I play music because I need it to live. Music is the best way to sublimate one's own pain. My music is usually sad because life is sad, I want to sound like the rainfall. What is sad is always beautiful, hope I will touch your heart deeply. I've started to play music when I was a lonely highschool student. Folk songs about the girls I never had. Now I've changed and I am very interested in electronic music, sounds so much like the heartbeat. I'm the only musician and I can play guitar, drums and piano. I record my songs in my bathroom, sounds so pure mate !'
so deep
:D
when Ryan Giggs got his first Wales call up
his agent called Graham Taylor and asked about his chances of getting an England call up in the near future. Taylor responded, "well unless Ryan thinks he can displace Andy Sinton or Tony Daley any time soon, then tell him to go for Wales".
That maybe the best one yet
i find it hard to believe that's true
even by Graham Taylor's monumental pillock standards in the past
Andy Sinton though, what a legend
i think steve guppy
proved that we were ok without giggs
i once started a chain email
subject title "STEVE GUPPY FOR ENGLAND". About three months later, he got the call up. I like to think I had something to do with this.
footballing great
when i was about 5
i decided to "pick" QPR as a team to support, Andy Sinton played there at the time. three years later I was a Sheffield Wednesday fan...Andy Sinton played there at the time.
i'm just glad i never moved onto Spurs
Im a spurs fan
i remember vaguely when we signed him. Legend of the game. I even had a little figure of him.
not exactly a looker though, was he?
Giggs
was never qualified for England, for a start, and only played for the schoolboys team because he was educated in England.
on BBC "press the red button" section on tv
you can watch Euro "great games". england v sweden 92 is on there. the team is SO shit. daley on one wing and sinton on the other. with carlton palmer anchoring the deefence.
they still qualified though...
The one about
Geoff Boycott at a wedding, someone seeing him there and being a bit drunk shouts "let's have a game of cricket outside" and so most of the guests trudge outside for a ramshackle game of drunken cricket. Boycott is up first because people want the honour of getting out the great Geoff Boycott. True to form, Boycs bats for 3 whole hours. When a weary guest asks "isn't it time you let someone else have a go, Geoff?" He replies "BUT YOU HAVEN'T GOT ME OUT YET".
That's why he will always be a hero to me.
What a guy.
Boycott related
Ian Botham was once sent out to bat against India with instructions to intentionally run Boycott out because he was batting so slowly England weren't going to win
that is true
Ian Botham story
he bowled his last ever professional ball with his cock and balls hanging out.
Supposedly if it had been on target it would have been a certain wicket as the batsman was too taken aback to hit it :D
It is true
but it was New Zealand.
amazing
cricket-related
David Lloyd once told my dad that everyone at Lancashire hated Sourav Ganguly during his time there, and that he left the house he'd been living in (paid for by the club) in a filthy state.
My mate's lady colleague was at Lords
(i really hope this is true) at some fundraising function with the England squad and many great figures from the game. Anyway, she is queuing up for the breakfast buffet and bumps into Boycs in the queue, he looks round and she apologises, adding 'Don't hit me!' to the biggest glare she's seen in quite some time. Apparently Michael Atherton was in stitches.
Lawrenson stopping managing the Posh
because he touched up the kids
that is true
i was one of the kids :-(
Steve Coppell

Nottingham Forest won the European Cup twice.

The one about Mickey Thomas
the former Man Utd striker, then playing for Wrexham, who scored that free kick to beat Arsenal in 1992.
He was stabbed in the arse repeatedly with a screwdriver after someone walking in on him doing their wife :D
Mickey Thomas
also did an 18-month stretch in prison for money laundering
Not laundering
Counterfeiting!
pah
tomayto, tomahto
Not really
A footballer done for countefeiting is a lot better than mere laundering. Laundering involves money that already exists.
I wasn't sure of the exact infringement
just knew it involved fraud of some description. But it's a shame, given his amazing criminal past, he's such a crap pundit
Addition to this story:
The aforementioned stabbing only stopped when Thomas curled up and pretended he was dead.
John O Shea
& Will Young were lovers
Probably not true though
if you believe the rumours
Will Young's been through half the Premier League - I've heard him being linked with Matt Taylor and James McFadden as well as O'Shea, then there was that rumour about him holding hands with Ronaldo on a photoshoot :D
Ian Botham:
"I was playing for Durham, against the Aussies, and David Boon faced my last-ever ball. Booney was struggling for his Test place and was deadly serious. But he just about fell over laughing and shouted, 'Beefy, you can't do this to me.' I was midway though my run-up and he'd spotted that I'd unzipped my fly and hauled out the meat and two veg. The old man was dangling in the wind as I steamed in. If I'd got it on target I would've bowled him. I thought it was a nice way to go out."
Hate Botham
but quite like this story
that one about there being
a big conspiracy to stop Rangers winning the league and UEFA cup this year. It seemed to go down well with their fans as they're already making accusations about the same thing for the forthcoming season which hasn't even bloody started yet
My favourite true sports story revolve around Reading Legend, Robin Friday.
He got sent off after a torrid game up against Mark Lawrenson and went straight in the opposing teams dressing room and took a shit in Lawro's kitbag.
Another story about Friday was when the Reading manager got called to a local dive club on a friday night and walked in to find Friday bollock naked on a snooker table with a live swan under his arm.
He's pretty much my hero and there's a great book about him called The Greatest Footballer You Never saw.
