Geoff Boycott is a Manchester United fan. Should be ashamed to call himself a Yorkshireman.

Actually, he should be ashamed to call himself a Yorkshireman after what he did to Yorkshire cricket.
That woman beater should be in jail.

There used to be a website called ''You know you’re from Barnsley if ...'' It's no longer up but these are a few of them.

At least 50% of your relatives used to work down t’pit.

You can make sense out of the word Asthagorowttegivus.

Snap is something you eat.

A bag of spice is something kids eat.

You have no problem saying Penistone.

You consider Holmfirth ‘exotic’.

You got a passport to go to Leeds.

Your idea of foreign culture is listening to Oasis.

Summat to eight is a meal, not the time of day.

You have one word that means hello, how are you, what’s this and hang on a minute – it’s Ayup.

Eastern Promise is a blind date in Doncaster.

You know how to line dance.

You have caught a fish in the Dearne and it glowed in the dark.

You know that “Oo war shi wi”, “She wa wi ersen”, “O wa shee naa” “aaah shi wa” isn’t Chinese.

You judge a cafe by its black pudding and gravy.

Boycott was [is?] a miserable bloke... wouldn't be surprised to find out that he was born in Lancashire...

If your wanting a miserable bloke try H.D Bird a total plank and freeloader. Once did a charity event along side boycott and Parkinson they did it for nothing. He asked for travel cost.

If you're from Leeds, you used to ask yer mam for summat to put you on.
I'd love to know how far away that phrase extends.

As a lad back in Leeds there was a word used as a time out in tag games that I decided was phaonites, simply because it sounded a bit like pharaohs. I think it's usually spelled something more like ''fainites'' in written down language. I've never heard it once in London but I was surprised to hear people in the primary school playground shouting ''pax'' to the same effect. Sadly, kali (again, I don't know how it was spelled - it wasn't a written down word but it was pronounced like K-Lie) also went downmarket and became sherbet. Then I noticed cobbled streets down here which I'd never seen before and decided that London was definitely behind the times as well as downmarket.

Boycott is a prick. He refused to be interviewed by Sue Mcgregor because she's a woman, went on rebel tours to apartheid SA to name but two...
It irritates me that the BBC pay him taxpayers money.
