Following Taylor being a prick tonight, I posited has there ever been a greater disparity between talent and likeability in sport than with Phil Taylor.
On Twitter The Camel suggested Floyd Mayweather or Alex Ferguson.
So, concentrated sporting knowledge of Blonde - what reckon you?

Prepared to be flamed here but I really don't understand the widespread dislike of Fergie. He sticks up for his team and guys and does what he has to to win which is to be expected. Always thought he was a decent bloke outside and I used to have a few dealings with him in a, erm, professional capacity and always found him to be thoroughly decent and pleasant to deal with with a sense of fun. That allied to his political beliefs and work makes me warm to him and I am really no United fan.
Can someone give cliffs on what Taylor did tonight?

Yeah to echo what Red said. While being somewhat ridiculous in his defence of his club and players, Fergie is a decent bloke imo.

Botham always gets credit for snubbing the rebel tour to South Africa, despite the money on offer, after listening to Viv Richards explain exactly what the situation was in SA for people like him.
There's nothing nasty about Ronaldo, just the smugness which pervades many footballers.
Hellmuth - panto villain.
Lewis - interested in hearing more Mark. The next Lance Armstrong?

British mentality to hate winners for some reason. Would rather like people with traits that make them seem like themselves, Ronnie or Jimmy in snooker for example. One of the best players to pick up a cue has the nickname 'Interesting' as a sarcastic put down.
Taylor is the best there has ever been, what's not to like?

Disagree about Taylor not being liked. Acted an abso Dick tonight and much of the crowd favoured Barnie, but Taylor the most popular player in PDC, just listen to the crowd during premier league nights.

Lewis, yeah the next Armstrong but even more of a self promoting egotistical douchebag. There is literally no doubt in my mind that he took steriods throughout his career, yet he consistently runs down his peers who got caught. No of whom liked him.
The ESPN 30 for 30 documentary about the Seoul 1988 100m that was made this year, is all you really need to watch to get a perspective on what a collosal prick Lewis is.

A good example for my theory. Went up in everyone's estimation when he cried after losing again. |
