<p>I reckon an avo beer with the Waughs would be fucken fascinating entertainment. As I said before try as I might not to admit it but there's plenty of Aussies I'd add to the "have a beer" list, Mortlock, Sailor, Larkham, Latham, Hayden, Justin Langer, Border and many others.</p>

<p>I think you might change your mind about Mortlock after your first beer.</p> -

<p>That's his reputation. I can't confirm it not having been on the lash with him myself but a number of Brumbies fans have said it to me over the years.</p> -

<p>All the accusations of cheating etc are usually the common theme , and their relationships with the refs </p> -
<p>Irrational dislike (as an Englishman) - David Beckham. Here's a man that was a very good soccer player, that always gave 100% in playing for England. Single handedly dragged us out of some parlous positions. Is by alls counts a decent human being, but I quite simply detest the bloke.</p>

<p>Heard a promo for the Richie movie/doco or whatever when driving. Glad I had a coffee beforehand or I would have dozed off and blocked the motorway.</p> -

<p>He's easily my favourite English football player.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Loved how he would never give up on the feild. That qualifyer v Geece circa 2001/ when he put the cross onto Sheringham for the equliser and then free kicked the winner (or equaliser) to qualify. One of my favourite ever games</p> -
<p>I always take comments like those above about people saying so and so is a prick/knob or whatever....with a grain of salt, unless I have met them to make my own opinion.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One of my best mates met a few NPC rugby players and said they were all arrogant so and so's, I met them a few days later and thought they were all nice blokes; me and this mate were so alike at that time too, so was interesting we had such contrasting views of the same people.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm a big fan of Richie, always have been, but I wont be going to the cinema to see that movie, I'll wait for it to come out on DVD</p> -
Interesting the complaints about Richie being boring , TBH it's not something I had given a lot of thought , tended to judge him on his playing ability . But now that I give it some thought , his book didn't exactly excite me , gliding and bagpipes I have little interest in . <br>
But if that is an issue , I wouldn't have thought Read is much of an improvement , his interviews are a bit hum drum
