let's expand the thread to also petulant, sissy players and nobody embodies that definition better than Becks

"you're the best"

I'll demand freebies to bar girls when travelling in the back seat with the punter of the night back to his hotel, in return not to grass 'em up to their (several) sponsors

I'm surprised that nobody (yet) picked on silly goal celebrations, they're in a class of their own. Just a couple of examples here, from Liverpudlian players, they lead the world in this particular category

Fowler sniffing his way to the corner flag

Bellamy can't play football so he tries his hand at golf, with predictable results
