Georgi makes it to number 16.

 

Impressive...

A Barnsley player gets to the top twenty of a Daily Times list for something that was taken completely out of context, and, more likely than not, misquoted.

My favourites from those

"It's red, round and weighs about five ounces, in case you were wondering."

Greg Thomas, of Glamorgan, unwisely makes fun of Viv Richards's inability to hit the ball. Richards soons smashes it out of the ground and replies: "Greg, you know what it looks like. Now go and find it."



"Why are you so fat?" "Because every time I f*** your wife she gives me a biscuit."

Exchange between Glenn McGrath, the Australia bowler, and Eddo Brandes, the large Zimbabwean cricketer.
