Straddling humour, trivia and sport, "Notorious" brings together
for the first time one hundred of the most potty sportsmen in
history. From boxing to cycling, soccer to baseball, and most
sports in between, here are the hard-men and the criminals, the
psychos and the loonies, that make up the sporting madness hall of
shame. Among the prime candidates for sporting lunacy in this book:
Prinya Charoenpal, one of the most talented kick-boxers in the
sport's history, who wore make-up and pink nail polish, broke down
when asked to strip for the weigh-in, pummelled the opponent who
made the mistake of mocking her with a camp embrace, and who fought
solely to get the money for a sex-change operation. Jack 'Hacksaw'
Reynolds, the San Francisco 49-ers linebacker during the 80s, who
once got plastered after losing a college game, went out to the car
park with a hacksaw, and cut someone's car in half. The Brazilian
football star Edmundo, infamous on the pitch for beating up fans,
referees and journalists, and making his name off it by crashing
his truck and killing three people, and being arrested for
force-feeding beer to a chimpanzee at his son's birthday party. And
there's more. The rugby league hard-man with a predilection for
sticking a rigid digit finger up opponents' rears on the field of
play; the baseball Hall of Famer who wielded his bat to beat up
unsuspecting victims; the golfer hospitalised three times for
alcohol poisoning, who came through two suicide attempts, three
divorces, plus countless hotel room trashings and suspensions; the
Irish jockey involved in an air rage incident who copped 110 hours
of community service! And closer to home, the likes of Roy Keane,
Alex Higgins, Vinnie Jones and Paul Gascoigne are also featured in
this wildly captivating, and often shocking, collection of crazed
sports celebrities.
