Yorkshiremen I do not admire

I love the county where I was raised, but certain folk from there engender my ire not my admiration.

1. Guy Fawkes - I loath all terrorists, even the archetype from York.

2. Arthur Scargill - He too thought he could bring down the government but his tools were miners not gunpowder.

3. Alan Smith - When he was leaving Leeds I said I would support him wherever he went with only one club excepted. So he joined the red devils. Judas!

4. Peter Ridsdale - the man whose financial irresponsibility relegated Leed United.

5. Michael Parkinson - bland enough to be a southerner.
