Gang Of Bullies

July 28, 2016 Blind Gossip

bully 6[Pop Bitch] School friends of which British world-class sports star remember him as being one of a gang of bullies who beat up a classmate so badly he was hospitalized? The rest of them got expelled for the attack, except for our guy – whose dad intervened and pleaded with the headmaster, insisting that expulsion would damage his future career.

    I think I’m right. The jacket says “2007” and I’m pretty sure that’s when the story broke.

    It’s Lewis Hamilton.
    It made the British papers in the mid 2000s, but apparently no one (including the victim) want to talk about it. The story is prob still online.
    The official statement was that he was “wrongly identified”, but everyone else gave a “no comment”. He was a huge *.

    This can’t be hunky Ben Cohen……….can it? Mr. Anti-Bully himself?

    I’m going to guess Andy Murray. Beckham was already a pro by age 16. And soccer isn’t really a sport where a bad rep world hurt “your future career”. Tennis on the other hand is a more “civilized” sport.

    The jacket says “007”. Most famous Bond? Connery = Scottish
    Murray = Scottish.
    And the fact they said “British” not English tips the scale

    British sports star : David Beckham?

  6. sublimeLime says

    July 29, 2016 at 8:37 am

    I’m going to say Wayne Rooney, just because he seems like a total punk.

    I don’t know the answer to this blind (although I’m fairly certain it ISN’T Beckham) but SIGH. I’m sick of seeing his name listed dozens of times on every single blind about a British male sports star from people who think he is the ONLY sports personality to ever come out of the UK, even when the story is quite clearly not about him.

    As a Brit I would think this happened at a private school so would probably rule out someone like beckham murray or Hamilton who I think all went to state schools. It would be tough to persuade a state school to drop an expulsion but you do hear about these things at private schools which are independent from the gvt, so you’re probably looking for a posh sports star…

    • Tootles says

      July 29, 2016 at 8:11 am

      totally agree with carocaro, this is about a privately educated sports star. Frank Lampard perhaps?

    Please everyone, stop assuming every time a British Sportsman is mention it is Becks. I worked with him many years ago, he is a genuinely nice guy and has always been 100% committed to his career. And his Dad would never have got him off the hook like this. He was well brought up.

    • prinny says

      July 29, 2016 at 9:34 am

      I know! I am not even British, but it bothers me that people think that Beckham is the only athlete Britain has ever produced!

  10. prissy says

    July 28, 2016 at 5:32 pm

    The 007 on the bully’s jacket is a clue

  11. guessingnotknowing says

    July 28, 2016 at 4:39 pm

    I’m going for David Beckham – based on the photo alone. It says 2007 on the jacket, and he moved to America in 2007.

  12. Vanessa501 says

    July 28, 2016 at 3:26 pm

    Wayne Rooney ?

  13. BaybeK8s says

    July 28, 2016 at 3:06 pm

    David Beckum

  14. Jaykay74 says

    July 28, 2016 at 2:32 pm

    Becks?

  15. craicmehappy says

    July 28, 2016 at 2:28 pm

    David Beckham.

    Fans would be disappointed but I would hope they would realise that kids do stupid things and not go at him. Hopefully he feels terrible about it and has learned life lessons and respect for others from this incident.

    A guy I know bullied my sister terribly as a teen but is a nice guy and good father now. People change.

  16. augustmom says

    July 28, 2016 at 2:14 pm

    My first thought was Wayne Rooney

  17. Aurora says

    July 28, 2016 at 2:02 pm

    David Beckham?

  18. mrsbeckham says

    July 28, 2016 at 1:45 pm

    Judging by the pic and his “scallywag” reputation, I’m going with Rory McIlroy. I don’t think it’s a footballer as the only world class footballer we have in Britain is Gareth Bale and I can’t see it being him.

    • prinny says

      July 29, 2016 at 9:33 am

      Oh no really??? I hope not him!

  19. amanda84 says

    July 28, 2016 at 1:09 pm

    Lewis Hamilton

  20. Elmerblues says

    July 28, 2016 at 12:46 pm

    Andy Murray or Rory M.

  21. Peps66 says

    July 28, 2016 at 12:17 pm

    Wayne Rooney?

  22. kittymyers says

    July 28, 2016 at 11:51 am

    Owen Farrell … but I’m just guessing.

  23. JennyJustice says

    July 28, 2016 at 11:43 am

    I don’t know who this British athlete is, but knowing something like this about them even though it’s from when they were a child, would definitely shape my view of them as an adult. Only certain personality types bully like that and they don’t change. They may get better about self-control so they don’t sabotage their own life or career but that’s just getting smarter about what is socially acceptable. It’s not the same thing as changing character.

  24. heynow says

    July 28, 2016 at 11:26 am

    David Beckham?

  25. carriebradshaw says

    July 28, 2016 at 11:25 am

    Lewis Hamilton

  26. deegg says

    July 28, 2016 at 11:06 am

    Beckham.

  27. Darkclouds84 says

    July 28, 2016 at 11:02 am

    Wayne Rooney.

  28. TeaDrinker says

    July 28, 2016 at 10:44 am

    Beckham maybe.

  29. Realistic says

    July 28, 2016 at 10:36 am

    David Beckham? I really hope not.

  30. PippaLuv says

    July 28, 2016 at 10:34 am

    Wayne Rooney?

    • OhSoLittleMouse says

      July 28, 2016 at 9:14 pm

      THIS!

    • spookie says

      July 29, 2016 at 7:22 pm

      This was my first instinct.

  31. charlottenc says

    July 28, 2016 at 10:18 am

    David beckham

  32. orangeness says

    July 28, 2016 at 10:17 am

    Chris Eubank Jr

  33. erininla35 says

    July 28, 2016 at 10:11 am

    Beckham

  34. Lebowski says

    July 28, 2016 at 10:10 am

    Wouldn’t any article about a “British world-class sports star” have to be Beckham?

    • RayneQueen says

      July 29, 2016 at 12:38 am

      Rory Mcilroy
      Lewis Hamilton
      Andy Murray
      Mo Farrah
      Chris Froome
      Tyson Fury
      Steve Redgrave
      Bradley Wiggins

      Nope.

    • Scarlo says

      July 29, 2016 at 1:03 am

      *Eye roll*

      Andy Murray, Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button, Mo Farrah, Wayne Rooney, Tom Daley…to name a few.

      But yup, there’s only Beckham. 😐

    • Meowchie says

      July 30, 2016 at 8:14 am

      LOL

    • Lebowski says

      July 29, 2016 at 10:49 am

      I didnt intend for that to sound like “they have nobody else” sorry if it came across that way.

      I just meant that most articles about British athletes in the States *ARE* about Beckham. He is tabloid fodder royalty. Sorry if any were offended.

    • spookie says

      July 29, 2016 at 7:22 pm

      This is a UK site, so…. not just Beckham.

    • RayneQueen says

      August 6, 2016 at 12:53 pm

      Wasn’t offended at all 🙂

  35. Moonpie says

    July 28, 2016 at 10:04 am

    David Beckham.

  36. annlar says

    July 28, 2016 at 10:01 am

    Tennisstar Murray

    • spookie says

      July 29, 2016 at 7:21 pm

      Nah, Murray is from the tiniest little Scottish town. It really doesn’t seem like him.

  37. JenninCo says

    July 28, 2016 at 10:00 am

    David Beckham.

    Optional: Probably not. People/fan adore their stars no matter what!

    • letithurt says

      July 31, 2016 at 3:06 pm

      Incredibly unlikely – football/soccer players in the UK don’t really spend much time in school past the age of about 11, and chances of authorities other than teachers being involved under 11 are close to zero. More likely to be Hamilton/Murray

  38. Kitsune6 says

    July 28, 2016 at 9:55 am

    Lewis Hamilton – It wasn’t just his Dad who intervened, some powerful people helped him out legally

  39. stinkerbell says

    July 28, 2016 at 9:52 am

    Peyton Manning

    • stinkerbell says

      July 28, 2016 at 3:17 pm

      Not Brit. Oops; disregard.

    • WhoDatGirl says

      July 29, 2016 at 8:16 am

      Lol amazing what a one-sided news story about an incident that happened almost 2 decades ago can do to someone’s image though….
