Not technically a footballer but getting this weeks award anyway is the Premier League Chairman Sir Dave Richards. If you're not aware of what big Dave came out and said this week you may have been under a rock...or not English and therefore don't really care what this silly little man said in Doha this week. To summarise his thoughts;
- England invented football so England should rule it.
- FIFA stole football from England.
- UEFA were formed to support FIFA's stealing of football from England.
- England are victimised.
- English people like to get drunk so we should be able to get sh*t-faced in Qatar even though as a Muslim country alcohol is strictly forbidden (his basic argument seems to be "who cares about religion because we like a pint").
- Even without alcohol, the English can still make a fool of themselves. (OK, strictly speaking he didn't say this...but actions speak louder than words)
Unfortunately, this kind of belief is far to widely held in England and the FA, and is the basic reason why the rest of the footballing world hates us...so well done Dave, way to help Anglo-FIFA relations...
