Mark McGammon?
Euros Predic?
Dave Penny?
Billy Painter?
Sammy Klingon?
Ian Hulme?
David Syres/Sayers?

Worst has to be any combination of Habib Bamogo and Mamadou Bagayoko

Ask to speak to " a mike hunt",who will be sat in the tap room or Public bar
Somewhere .

 "Phone call for mike hunt,PHONE call for MIKE HUNT"

sit back and enjoy

I remember someone pulling a varient of that on a young female trainee at work many moons ago. It resulted in her yelling out "has anyone seen Mike Hunt" across a crowded tea bar. Everyone was in hysterics apart from the poor lass whose face went redder than a ripe tomato. It would have probably ended up in a huge sexual harassment case nowadays.

That was in the days when trainees were still sent on errands for tins of elbow grease and buckets of compressed air.
