Professional losers

Michael Barrymore. Old dears across the nation loved the cheeky funnyman and he was earning money quicker than he could shovel it up his nose. Until one night...

Same with Rolf. Loved the world over. Knighthoods, streets named after him, he slept on sheets made from £50 notes stitched together and wiped his butt on bearer bonds. All he had to do was keep his hands to himself.

Surely any sensible person would think to themselves, "I'm on the gravy train here, set for life. All I need do now is keep my head down and figure out fun ways to spend all this money"?

So near yet so far.

Kevin Keegan Spain 1982 World Cup. The missed header with flourish.

I was only very young, but still never really got over the shock.

I prefer to forget about Peru, favouring Archie Gemmil against the so called Dutch masters.

This link is even harder to read.

Told you, only Scotland could fail to win from that position. Don't get me wrong, still proud of them.

Greg Norman, led Nick Faldo by six strokes going into the final round of the 1966 US Masters and then under pressure from the Brit went to pieces and and finished up losing by five. The Great White Shark had to suffer the indignity of being sneered at as the "Great White Fish Finger" after his spectacular collapse in losing eleven strokes to his rival during the last eighteen holes.

Surely must have been closer to 86?

The daftest game of football ever.

TL;DW
Thanks to a bizarre set of circumstances and 'golden goal' rules, Barbados end up defending both goals, while Grenada attack both goals.
Chaos ensues.

Mike Brewer. Fat cockney plonker that no one likes, and the only reason anyone watched Wheeler Dealers was because the petrolheads love Edd China. He's on the gravy train, coining it, using fifties to wipe his butt. So what does he do? He pishes of Edd, who then leaves.

And Brewer wonders why he's now getting death threats.

 

[TheDoctor]

Oh, is that not how football works then?

Erm...not sure. I get easily confused, especially since there's numerous incompatible versions.

Perhaps Raleigh would be a corking example, when their lady boss of the time

Yup, it would have been a corking example if it weren't for the needless casual sexism...

My bad, it was '96

Grow up.

Tony Blair, one time UK Prime minister, now a sad old billy no mates, screwing up the already screwed up strip of land being fought over by two toss pot religions that deserve each over.
"Hi my name's Tony Blair, I'll stop messing this up and come over to the UK and help mess brexit up"
NO, Tony (Billy) No Mates, NO, bugger of and leave us alone. You've had your day. NO !!!!!!!!
