"THE DOG ATE MY HOMEWORK AWARD FOR BEST EXCUSE OFFERED BY A FOOTBALLER
In third place, Stephen Ireland. The Manchester City midfielder with the Superman smalls was excused from international duty after telling Republic of Ireland officials that his grandmother had died. When it became apparent that this was untrue, he revealed that it had been a case of mistaken identity and that a different grandmother had passed away. Once this story was exposed as a fib, he managed the impressive feat of pulling a third dead grandmother out of the hat. She too turned out to be very much alive.
The runner-up is Chris Coleman. The Real Sociedad manager missed a morning press conference because he was hung over after an evening on the lash at a student disco, but blamed his absence on a web of deception involving a broken washing machine that unravelled quicker than Supergran trying to sort out her knitting.
But the winner by some distance is Bryan Robson. After his Sheffield United side lost 3-0 to Stoke, Robbo answered his critics by saying: "I thought the lads looked lively and confident before the first goal went in." What he didn't mention was that the first goal went in within 90 seconds."
