'Yorkshire Post' Sports Personality Of The Year

[screenman]

Why do we expect top sports people to have a personality to suit all tastes?

I doubt it Ecky Thump is a Lancastrian thing

It is indeed, one lad I work with is from Burnley & tells me there's an Ecky Thump Martial Arts School there

You mean they voted for someone other than Geoff Boycott.

He’s a wife beater, a bounder & a cad. Sometimes cycle past one of his old houses. In actual fact a lot of Yorkshire folk don’t like him.

and is a supporter of Salford Reds.

It doesnt bother me if they have personality, but one would expect a candidate to possess at least a modicum of that particular commodity when being considered for an award with personality in the title.

Yes,'Black Pudding Bertha' by the Goodies has always bothered me.

"We like to rock, believe it or not
The ladies in the south can never do it right
(They can't do it, they just can't do it)
We know a lass (Eee), a really lovely Yorkshire lass (Eee)
When she tries to dance she shimmers like a plate of tripe
(And cow heels, tripe and cow heels)

Big, bold and brassy, that's the way to rock and roll (Ooh, ooh)
Black Pudding Bertha, she's the queen of northern soul, oh oh oh oh"

The 'Goodies' must've been southerners,as they mistakenly thought black puddings originated in Yorkshire,when in fact they are a Lancashire delicacy!🧐
