British Football is stuffed to the gills with Professional Chancers. A huge percentage of them would probably be in jail without football, and certainly otherwise unemployable. It is hard to single out just one name from a rich seam of non-talent.

The chap I have in mind though even now has enough friends in the imbecile British Media to put his name forward for various management jobs. I believe these days he is reduced to the occasional punditry job, despite having been publicly disgraced in the courts for his various business, erm, mishaps.

My hands would probably drop off in protest were I to type his name, so let's just call him 'Dagenham Dave'.

Ashley Giles is an excellent call.

A man so utterly devoid of talent he wouldn't make our village team.

He is now, variously, Warwickshire's director of cricket, the official spin coach in the England Performance Programme (are you **ing kidding?) and a national selector.

Now you REALLY couldn't make that lot up :|

Geoff Boycott wouldn't have got a cap if I was selecting. Not that he couldn't get runs, but he was incapable of playing for a team.

Robert Rosario - Non-scoring forward

Ramon Vega - Non-defending defender

Viv Marks - Non-spinning spinner. Botham needed someone to carry his drinks around, hence Vic got selected

David Capel - equally useless with both bat and ball yet played for England as an all-rounder (see also Derek Pringle, Ronnie Irani and various other 'new Bothams')

Judy Oakes - Tavelled the world with the GB athletics team to consistently fail to qualify for the final of shot-put competitions at various Commonwealth, World and Olympic games

Gary Hind - Most Journeyman of journeyman jockeys. He thought he looked like Ronan Keating; he certainly rode like him.

Johnny Dumfries - That would be Lord Dumfries then. I wonder how this multi-millionaire managed to get a season of F1 rides? Was replaced at Lotus by Satoru Nakajima, another chancer who got the gig because he was Japanese and Lotus had just switched to Honda engines and they had Senna as their main driver to deflect attention away from these pair of herberts.
