Greatest Sporting Insults Of All Time

In light of recent events I did a little digging around online and came up with the following great sporting insults.

Please feel free to add any of your own and even use this as a place to make suggestions as to how you would have liked Mr. Coyle to respond to Vinegar's most recent blunder. Arsenal fans welcome too. After all, it's you he has insulted most.

1. "Stone me! We’ve had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player."
Jimmy Greaves is shocked when the Wimbledon hard man is selected for his first cap, of eight, for Wales.

2. "Why are you so fat?" "Because every time I •••• your wife she gives me a biscuit."
Exchange between Glenn McGrath, the Australia bowler, and Eddo Brandes, the large Zimbabwean cricketer.

3. "Lie down so I can recognise you."
Willie Pep, the American featherweight boxer, when asked by an old opponent if he recognised him.

4. "He cannot kick with his left foot, he cannot head a ball, he cannot tackle and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that he's all right."
George Best sums up the many talents of David Beckham.

5. "You were a •••• player, you are a •••• manager. The only reason I have any dealings with you is that somehow you are manager of my country and you're not even Irish, you English ••••. You can stick it up your ••••••••."
What Roy Keane allegedly said to Mick McCarthy, the Ireland manager, that got him sent home from the 2002 World Cup.
