Sporting icons falling out

That’s the gist of it. Don’t know about the going broke part though. The cynic in me would wonder if Lance had brought David Walsh onto the private jet a few times like he did with Phil Liggett would things have been different? Kimmage is black and white in fairness to him.

Work sent me on a course a few years back where the instructor was a massive fan of Team Sky, David Brailsford and marginal gains and advised us to apply their principles in the office.

Were they telling me my productivity would improve by taking drugs?

not sport icons but the bitterness between shane sutton and richard freemen is off the charts

Monty and Sandy Lyle had a disagreement on the course many moons ago over a ball being moved and it escalated into pure hatred and personal. Still ongoing

Phil Thompson and Graeme Souness despise each other. Did they both captain Liverpool to European Cup wins? They certainly played together in final wins anyway. Think they fell out when Souness was Liverpool manager and he replaced Thompson as reserve team manager.

Thommo was bad mouthing Souness and his methods after a reserve game to the Man Utd management team in the post match office drinks. Archie Knox mentioned it to Walter Smith who drove down to Liverpool to tell his former boss personally. Souness fired Thompson the next day.
Thommo’s resentment went back to Souness getting the captaincy off him afaik

I’m fairly sure even kimmage admitted if lance didn’t come out of retirement that time for the charity he probably wouldn’t have ever been caught.

Thompson is a bit of a prick, himself and Robbie Fowler didn’t get on either.

When Fowler was breaking through I think Thompson was over the reserves and acted like a cunt to any of the young lads coming through.

100%, if he had stuck with his 7 Tour wins he would still be a legend. But he got insulted when he saw the likes of Carlos Sastre winning the Tour and decided to come back. Pure ego.

Hard to imagine anyone falling out with Souness. He seems like a big cuddly Grandad, mad for a few kicks with the youngsters in the back garden.
Thompson has the head of a vindictive fucker alright.

Christie Brown had an awful falling out with his brother over a penalty in My Left Foot… Christie scored it and I think they made up afterwards.

A classic trivia question - scored a peno, saved a peno and his two brothers played in the same game.
