I met Shaun Edwards once, and was the perfect gentleman. Couldn't stick him in that shirt, though.

Mine are,

1 Judas. ( We only hear his side of the story these days. It was the way he used to flaunt around Town, with his Wigan mates that narked me)

2 Neil Cowle (Ordinary player in a great team, and a complete and utter gob5h1t3 with it. I don't usually condone violence on the field, but I had to laugh when Adam Fogerty did him)

3 Adrian Shelford ( Shouldn't talk ill of the dead, but was a nasty so and so, and did the dirty on us.)

Finished Kevin McCormack's career with a poor challenge with his knees IIRC.

Indeed. One of the most cowardly attacks I've ever seen on a rugby field.

Bill Ashurst and Brian Hogan. Proper villains. In an era when there were some real thugs about, these two were stand outs. Hogan was almost a pantomime baddie and would play to the crowd - for those of you who can remember, he was the Mick MacManus of Rugby League!

1 - Terry Newton. Absolute scum, the only player I've ever seen who made multiple attempts to maim someone in the same game.

I'm struggling beyond that. Andy Farrell was very arrogant as a player, but he was decent when he finally accepted he wasn't a half back and played at prop. I can't really think of anyone else, I always liked Connolly despite his move and they've not had that many obvious hate figures and I'm not the type to hate someone because they are good.

Edwards and Offiah for that smug nodding celebration they used to do.

Too many others to mention....but got to include Panface, Connolly, Cowie, Skerrett and Newton in my top 10.

You really hate the fact that he's a winner, unlike FGB Graham the cry baby former captain of team of grand final losers.
