For Georger:

Posh Spice is slapper
She wears a Wonderbra.
And when she's shagging Beckham,
She dreams of Ginola.

And if they're so set on people who were winners, why no Bobby Moore?

Ugh. To have the only Brit be Beckham and leave out any mention of Best, Moore, Liddell, Dixie Dean, Kenny, etc; any of whom should be put above that cock pirating sellout; terrible.

I'M MAD AS HELL

Best was no Brit, Georger.

Damnit, Georger. He's Northern Irish.

The island of Great Britain consists of Wales, Scotland, and England.

You'll have a hell of a time making that argument to an Irishman, even one from Northern Ireland. You walk into a bar in Belfast and proclaim that Georgie Best was British and it won't be a neat scene.

Luckily there isn't a good reason for anyone to ever go to Northern Ireland. Whatever, he was technically British; I don't have time for all those pasty bastards infighting.

POINT REMAINS; if there is going to be someone from either any of those potato eating gin drinking islands, there are a lot better choices than cock knocker extraordinaire.

Also; this would've been a great time for a: "What is your nationality? ... I'm a drunkard."
