Lineker. Fair play to the annoying, anodyne, smug twat. I like him now.

I loved it that Bellamy did all that for years before the press found out. He clearly didn't do it for PR purposes.

I heard a story about Neil Lennon (while a Celtc player) calling a taxi in the Inverness area. As he drove, the driver commented to his passenger that he looked a bit like Neil Lennon and proceeded to slag off the player. When he got dropped off, NL announced to the driver that he WAS Neil Lennon and gave him a £20 tip for giving him a laugh.

Sad state of affairs when you get pelters for being a decent human being?!

A 'leftie luvvie' who should be sacked apparently.

It would appear speaking out against increasingly hostile xenophobic rhetoric is a reason to be ridiculed nowadays.
