Legend on the field...
Legend off the field...

His life is his own, people should just leave his personal life as well... personal. I don't think anyone has the right to judge him. I also think his wife is out just to cash in on his fame, how stupid is she really?

2 things

1. So much for not judging people....

2. Part of his fame is attributed to the scandals he created off field and his wife was splashed all over magazines as the 'stupid woman that stayed with him after he did a few times, then finally she got smart and left him'. She may as well make the best of a bad situation. She got her own 'fame' because her husband was a cheating scumbag and he was in the public eye.

i agree. without his name she would be Simone who?

as for being a loser, i doubt it. he would be one of the most famous people around and gets the approriate remuneration for it. jealousy is a tremendous way of finding who the REAL losers are.
his private life is important to him, the same as it is to you and me.
i wonder how many around here would start squeeling if grubs started taking pictures of their private life and selling them to the media?

It's a shame he didn't respect his marriage as much as the great game of cricket.

A true Aussie sports champion but a loser in life and love.

I did some maths on the 1000 conquests. If you take out the ones who weren't awake, the Pommy slappers and the pigs with lipstick, it only leaves 7 normal chicks. Maybe he's more normal than we think...

I think the Poll Results speak for themselves :


Don Bradman is a Legend :king:


Warney : is a W * * K E R ...
maybe when he's dead He'll regain some status...

but I Doubt it :thebirds:

I've met both of these Men...
I assure you that Warney wasn't worth the effort

I think his personal life is far more than his problem. Think of Simone, the kids, his family, her family, their mutual friends, the millions of people who look up to Warney and get a mixed representation of what it is to be great.

Every person is flawed, some flaws for example a sexual addiction and infidelity, do far more damage than others.

He is role model, and should act like one, on and off the field.

Whilst I greatly admire his control of the cricket ball, I am disgusted by his lack of self control in almost every other area of his life.

I hope he seeks help, and in time overcomes these things. I also hope his loved ones are not too scared by his behaviour.
