Leaving the best handy caps in the hands of ex players and pundits .
So the players will have to wait for 2013/14 to try and clime the
football players handy cap ladder . Lets have a look at how it stands
from a year ago according to
.sport.co.uk Posted by Harry Smith
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
