Are you sure about that ff?, I am a Lancashire northener, but Boycott has a very broad Yorkshire accent, unmistakable really.

I think it is his mush that is misserable, but I remember in 1981 he was taking some stick from the media, and then began Bothams Ashes, and Australia only needed 130 to win, and bob Willis bowled out of his skin, and took 8 for, best bowling I have seen.

Point being he was called a churlish git, because when the presentations were under way, all party like after the win, they came to interview Willis, he did not talk cricket, he just vented his anger out on the press and media, I agreed with his actions here, he always got the rough end of the stick with the press.
