List the most boring people in sport here

Michael Atherton.

So dull that people haven't even thought to mention him in a thread about dull sportsman.

That is true :D Also, and it pains me to say it as I am from Yorkshire, Michael Vaughan. Interminably boring when interviewed after test matches :(
 
Tell us sree news!
Bah, for that I would have to phone my parents and tell them that I am not interested about this week's birth of their first ever grandchild but istead they must tell me about this Indian guy that they semi-adopted during their dance events.

My mother doesn't take much of a nudge to start telling her unstoppable anecdotes, but even so now might not be the time.
 
Tim Henman. I mean, the whole nation rallied behind him for years at Wimbeldon and he was still as charismatic as a cheesey wotsit. Boring bastard. :mad:
 
sampras gets bonus points for having a ridiculously hot missus.

Andrew Murray has the most monotonous, boring, depressing voice I've ever heard in my life. He might be a laugh a minute in real life but if he comes on telly I start contemplating suicide.

He seems to have a strange hybrid Scottish/Trans-atlantic accent. I don't find him dull but I do find him annoying, he comes across rather sullen and surly whenever I see him interviewed.

Mind you I absolutely loathe tennis so I am rather biased.
 
nick faldo - living proof that playing golf requires the surgical removal of all personality

He's reinvented himself as the jocular Englishman on the US channels, lots of fake bonhomie and 'gosh' and 'crumbs'.

All very embarrassing, I think I preferred him as a wooden, pokerfaced automaton.
 
If you take away all the nouveau riche trappings, David Beckham is actually really really dull.

david beckham always comes across as really sound in interviews to me

he's way too normal to be one of the most famous people in the world, but that's good in a way :hmm:

i'd nominate tim henman
 
snooker has a rich vein. I see Peter Ebdon already mentioned, but surely - Stephen Hendry! Also John Higgins

Hendry I agree about. I kept hoping he'd miss when he was playing Jimmy White but nowadays I'd quite like to see him win another one.

Also, Steve "Interesting" Davis (though he gets brownie points IMO for at least admitting he was boring).

I've read Athers's book about cricket and he seems reasonably interesting. It's difficult to judge with sports people though because a few of them are quite shy and at any rate not natural conversationalists (Graham Gooch once as good as admitted he'd much rather not bother dealing with the press at all, but it was required of him when he was England captain).
 
The problem with many sports people is that it's hard to be interesting when you are asked such mundane questions by interviewers. Also you are supposed to be tactful and not upset anyone with you answers, it's enough to make anyone appear boring.
 
Tim Henman. I mean, the whole nation rallied behind him for years at Wimbeldon and he was still as charismatic as a cheesey wotsit. Boring bastard. :mad:

What made him tigerish then? Had possibly the least tiger-like personality you could imagine more like 'timid tim' or 'look everybodys laughing at the english again tim' or simply timfail. Twunt!
 
Who is he?

Also, having a fit wife does not stop you being boring.

he is a wrestler!

and it so foes.

Beacuse you can have conversations about how a weird monkey man ended up with such a hotty and wonder if they swing and stuff.

Henman all you can say is what a knob, his celebration is crap, bit shit isn't he.
