    For inducing one of the longest running beel fests in the history of football by upsetting Brian Clough I'll go with Don Revie.

    He is. But is he truly greater than Umpire Dickie Bird? Only one of these men has a statue of himself erected in Barnsley.

    Ted Hughes is dead, otherwise he'd win it.

    Geoff Boycott, he's one of the only, if not the only, celebrity I'd be sad to see dead.

    Peter Sutcliffe is about as good as they get. At least he never owned a whippet.

    Politicians are self-serving ****s, very rarely a good one comes along, I'm sure Boris could be easily replaced. Having said that, I'd rather have Dave/George/Boris than Miliband and Balls. I'd rather have The Chuckle Brothers than Miliband and Balls. Maybe even Farage.
