10) Teddy Sheringham       

After enjoying an illustrious playing career which spanned a gargantuan 25 years, Teddy now unwinds by playing golf among other things. More often than not he plays with Shearer and Owen...golf that is. The former Tottenham and Manchester United forward is said be a handy a player but remains more focused on his love at poker at the moment, although his handicap remains a very respectable eight.

9) Matt Le Tissier

Le God, as he is known in Southampton, fills his weekends with his three guilty pleasures football punditry, playing golf and watching Countdown into the wee hours. He probably should not have admitted to the last one but it’s out in the open and everyone knows his sordid little secret. The former Saints man has a handicap of six.

8) Gianfranco Zola

The current Hammers boss can always afford a bit of time off from Upton Park to play a sly couple holes of golf. This is probably why his team are having a torrid time of it, sitting second from bottom of the Premier League, suffice to say his clubs maybe gathering dust for the foreseeable future if he wants to drag them away from the drop zone.

7) Ian Wright

Wrighty has not only been doing the rounds on the television but also on the golf course. He finds golf provides inner calm after all the turmoil caused by all the dodgy TV ads and mind numbing presenting that has haunted his career after he hung up his boots. With all that time he spends trying to cleanse himself of the sinful Chicken Tonight advert it is no wonder that he has a handicap of seven which came into good use when he played for Team Europe at the All*Star Cup at Celtic Manor.

6)   Ruud Gullit 

The former Dutch captain has been playing golf  Ruud Gullitfor a number of years now and has a handicap of seven. Apparently he was better in his youth but since he cut his hair he just has not been the same. Recently though his golfing prowess has been steadily increasing as he is a two-time winner with Team Europe of the All*Star Cup.

5) Alan Shearer

A prolific goal scorer for club and country, Shearer enjoys almost as much success off the tee with a handicap of six. Just like Lee Dixon and Gary Lineker he is a regular pundit on Match of the Day, although he took a little timeout to manage Newcastle into the second tier of English football. He should have stuck to the golf and the gab. 

4) Lee Dixon

The former Gooner, who won the English top flight in three different decades, has made a seamless transition into punditry. Like many of his contemporary couch potatoes he dabbles in a bit of golf too. With a very respectable handicap of five Lee is a regular at Woburn Golf Club in Buckinghamshire.

3)  Michael Owen 

With his new lease of life at Man Utd, Michael’s golfing career, which flourished while he was at Newcastle, looks to have been put on hold for now. He has been playing since he was seven years old and his handicap is reportedly five. The little section on Owen’s golfing prowess in his much maligned summer brochure appeared to really swing the balance for Sir Alex. Getting not only a new striker but a new golf partner for free was the bargain of the century.

2) Gary Lineker

The second biggest swinger is of course Gary Lineker. He was a great player, better sports commentator and apparently a magnificent golfer. With a handicap of four, Gary can find his way around 18 holes very capably and that is probably why he has been made the new face (and ears) of golf at the BBC.

1) Jimmy Bullard

Number one spot has to go to Jimmy for the simple fact that he is a bit of a legend...oh, and he is pretty nifty with a golf club too. The mop-haired midfielder has a handicap of one, not bad but considering all the practice he gets when he’s out injured, it should probably be a little better. He was quoted saying “I would like to become a serious player in the future”, not too sure whether he was talking about football or golf though.

Well we can all see where the T.V deals are done . Would be interesting to see the very latest Professional football player handy cap table . Would not be surprised if that whining little shit Gary Neville is on the list . As he brown noses Sky TV bosses so he can get his weasel face in are living rooms . Or making us feel sick while having a pint down the the local . Don’t care how good he is on a golf course.

SKY PLEASE FUCK HIM OFF
