Spurs Have The Rudest Players

Baggage Handlers Face Job Losses At Manchester Airport

The Times have a feature on their website today, talking about Premier League stars and their manners whilst flying. An air stewardess has lifted the lid on who was polite and who was rude.

She said: “We often get football teams flying to European games, and it’s always interesting to see how they behave. Without doubt the rudest was Spurs. They were going to Prague a couple of years ago, and they were all very impolite. None of them said thank you for anything. One player in particular, a striker, sat with his headphones on and refused to take them off, and none of them would lift their window blinds for takeoff and landing.

“By contrast, Manchester United were incredibly polite. Sir Alex Ferguson was all ‘yes please, no thank you’, and all the team were exactly the same. They were all linked up together playing Fifa football on their Game Boys or PlayStations or whatever they were. They were like a bunch of little schoolboys. The only one who wasn’t playing was [Cristiano] Ronaldo, who just rolled his eyes at me whenever I walked down the plane, as if to say, ‘Look what I have to put up with, with these kids.’"

Who was that rude striker for Spurs a few years ago? It could be now Man United striker Dimitar Berbatov, he comes across stroppy, but I don’t think he is rude. I would put my money on Darren Bent; he always seems to have some earphones one when skysports show him before a game.
