The most obnoxious player in English sport may have been Geoff Boycott, who was pretty much hated by everyone he played with for being unutterably sorry. The England team once sent Botham out to bat with him with instructions to run him out to allow for the scoring rate to be increased, but Boycs was wise to their plan and ran Both out instead*. *His running between the wickets was legendarily bad. The joke was that his call was 'Yes... No... Sorry'. But I can't believe that he ever actually apologised. That’s hilarious.

In the haze of pain I might have...well, not that, but something. And from all I've heard (or didn't hear), he got along fine with the White Sox. Probably because Ozzie don't take no shit. “How does it feel” WAS a pretty stupid question. In the haze of pain I might have…well, not that, but something.
