    To pick just one:

    Dean Richards. John Lancaster must be feeling the hot breath on his neck.

    I'm struggling to think of many people that I actively dislike, other than John Terry, of course.

    Michael Schumacher. If you have to cheat and bully to win, on top of having the best car with the best team with the biggest budget with a car designed around you with bespoke tyres - at the detriment of some of your opponents who have to use the same tyres - and a subservient teammate then you don't deserve it. Having said that the FIA were equally to blame in not punishing him hard enough. What an idol for everyone coming up through the motor racing ranks.

    Fernando Alonso, Raphael Nadal, Spain's football team, Barcelona. Can't explain why and don't have anything against the Spanish people (apart of the ones named here), but it just happened to be all Spanish.

    Surprised to see Lance Armstrong on this list!

    For me it would be Ronaldo, Terry, Ashley Cole

    Luis Resto is a very good shout from an earlier post.

    Not loving or having much respect for Pastor Maldonado at the moment.

    Audely Harrison - just completely f***in' useless!

    Numero uno on my list would have to be Roy Keane. Other 'honourable' mentions to Lee Bowyer and Dean Windass.

    Oh Lee Bowyer was an absolute thug. For my sins I've supported Leeds United since 1970. It turns out that that early 70's team were a bunch of thugs and the team that won the championship in the 90's (which included Bowyer around that time) was similarly comprised.

    I guess you only get to pick your team once (if you're doing it properly) but if I could go back in time...

    And I'll second Fernando Alonso as well. Revolting man.

    Cricket: Mullaley, Dominic Cork, many of the aussie and Pakistani teams.

    Football: most players, but the scousers get on my nerves, Rooney, Robbie Fowler, Steve Mcmanaman...

    UFC: Frank Mir, Michael Bisping(British), Chael Sonnen, and most of the arrogant, loud mouthed self selling/ promoting yanks.

    Tennis: Mcenroe, Connors, Agassi..and those type of yanks.

    Boxing: Audley Harrisson, Chisora, Haye, Hamed.

    Not sure where to start with this.

    I'm imagining I have a very large aircraft hangar at my disposal in which I can put them all.

    To save time, let's put in all the professional footballers who have:

    1. Exaggerated an injury on the pitch in order to get another player booked.
    2. Argued with a referee and provided a bad role model for children.

    That should leave enough left over to make up an 11-a-side team who can play international friendlies. The standard will be poor but at least we'll be able to watch it without feeling disgusted.

    Next, can I put in all the tennis players who grunt too loudly.

    Then, any cricketers who have been involved in match-fixing.

    Finally, can I put in anyone who has taken dope (we might need another hangar for the cyclists).

    Amen to that. I know an abandoned military airstrip with plenty of empty hangars.

    Don't really dislike any sportsmen per se but must admit to thinking all these druggy athletes and cyclists are beyond the pale.

    With the exception of Craig Bellamy (who I think you mentioned) this is a very odd list. Jessica Ennis...mutton dressed up as lamb??? Explain yourself!

    I agree with all of the above, but to be on the safe side I would just take all "professional" footballers, every one of whom is a poncy, chavvy waste of skin and oxygen and machine gun the lot of them. This would make the world a better place.

    Sachin Tendulkar (selfish stats-accumulator...plays for himself).
    Terry (the quintessential modern day footballer – thick, thuggish, dodgy, shallow, chavvy..)
    Ryan Giggs (filthy dog who betrayed his own brother)
    Fernando Alonso (petulant, spoilt brat)
    Nani (diver and big girl’s blouse)
    Amir Khan (bad loser and too high an opinion of himself – shame because it doesn’t take much to make that different..he’s a good lad underneath the bs).
    David Haye (talks too much, even for a boxer..has said despicable things to ‘promote’ fights.
    Rio Ferdinand (thug who’s never grown up – shut up on Twitter already)
    Wayne Rooney (thug)
    In fact, much of the current and past United squad in the last 10 years

    A lot of people fail to understand why, having been caught on camera assaulting a DJ in a nightclub, he didn't get sent to jail by his peers in a Liverpool court.
