You don't need to tell me when you have walked around throughout my life with the surname, Pferdmitfahrerwurst

 

[number11]

I did forget Nasser Hussain born in Madras and Robin Smith (South Africa). I think these would replace Slack and Butcher in my line-up.

As for England Football, I can think of (fill in the gaps, if you can):

GK -
RB -
CD - Terry Butcher (Singapore)
CD -
LB - Tony Dorigo (Australia)
RM - John Salako (Nigeria)
CM - Owen Hargreaves (Canada)
CM - Colin Viljoen (South Africa)
LM - John Barnes (Jamaica)
For - Luther Blissett (Jamaica)
For - Cyrille Regis (French Guiana)

I think Craig Johnston (born in South Africa, but an Aussie) made a squad once but didn't play.

Manager - Graham Failure (Mars)

Wasnt Gary Bailey, former Man U keeper and 3rd choice for 86 world cup a Saffa?

Indeed he was - I wonder if he was born in this country though, as his dad played for Ip$hite? I'll Wiki him.

EDIT: Born in Ip$hite.

Dont forget to send that £50 to the Spread Tonight

I've got to send it to the club shop, haven't I...?

:confused:

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

I think bigotry's a bit harsh.

You're right, it was - sorry. Lazy stereotyping, then!

:p

Thats more like it!

I excel in that department...

 

[scrounger]

I see Bogdanovic and South beat Wassen and Chan (13th seeds) 6-4 6-3.
Doing extremely well so far! (This is the only aspect to get excited about at Wimbledon from a British point of view).

Is it the 1/4s they're through to now ??

 

[scrounger]

I believe so. Unfortunately their opponents and schedule of play has not been confirmed as of yet

I had to laugh at the BBC Breakfast News this morning, During the sport bulletin, Sue Thearle the presenter said that during the rain interruptions at Wimbldon there had been much discussion about the state of British tennis. She then said, "however, there is one bright piece of news about the sport in this country." I thought she was going to talk about teh mixed doubles pairing. But no! The bright piece of news for British tennis is that we have a World #1 in Wheelchair tennis. Well thank F*** for that!!!

Blimey! Bet you need a big racket to get one of them over the net...

There used to be someone in the top 10 (of Britain I believe) that played at Garons. His name escapes me now.

 

[Davros]

i seem Murrays brother, and his counterpart are also still in the mixed doubles

 

[scrounger]

Yea that's right, Murray and Jankovic (who is winning the Champions race this year - simply due to the amount of tournaments she has participated in) beat the number 3 seeds Knowles and Yan 7-6 6-7 6-3.

Another quality result by the underdogs.

 

[Mr. Benedict]

And very nice it was to see Murray and Jankovic win the mixed doubles too.

First british player to lift a trophy (from one of the 5 main events) at Wimbledon since 1987 and first Brit to win a main event in any grand slam since 1991 :eek:

There's rumours that those two are at it. What do people reckon?

Oh and well done to them too. For the tennis that is. Not the (alleged) humping.

 

[Davros]

i'd heard that too... even Inverdale was having a dig about it

 

[Mr. Benedict]

Wouldn't surprise me if they were... Jankovic was being very coy around him.
She denied any 'involvement' away from the tennis court in midweek when asked but according to the commentators yesterday she offered to 'kiss Murray all over' if they won the competition!
