@DaveKnibb at the risk of dragging this out further....and apologies all round, the hero worship and etc that go with becoming a public figure does also seem to increase the number of numpties that want a pop when they see you on a night out, something Botham eludes to quite frequently in his autobiog. I think it unfair to expect them to not go out ever, especially when there was no curfew etc. but yes it is wrong for them or anyone else to end up fighting

At the end of the day we are all human, we are all fallible, that's fine. I have never been a 'national' figure, sadly, but i've managed to avoid being arrested for brawling in the street. When you achieve a certain level of 'celebrity' in Sport, that level of 'hero worship' comes with a certain amount of responsibiilty, that is the price you pay for the millions and the adulation. Whether you are a cricketer, footballer (Rooney being a case in point) you have a responsibility for your actions. When your 40 you can do what you want, but the riches come with certain criteria. Is that too much to ask?
