Top 5 Freddie Urban Legends

[andrew_nixon]

1. Freddie doesn’t have to practise reverse swing, he just whispers to the ball and it does as it’s told
2. Freddie once hit a cricket ball so hard it went back in time
3. An Indian bookmaker offered Freddie $180,000 for a sample of his DNA
4. The X-Men character Wolverine is based on Freddie as they both have indestructible metal surgically attached to their skeletal frame.
5. The War in Iraq would stop if Freddie told it to

Nice ones. There was a thread with "David Boon Facts" which was pretty similar to that. Cannot find the link now, though...

Thanks for posting Freddie's urban legends Andrew, except I didn't actually find them funny! :cool:
Maybe its because I hate the English cricket team to bits or that I am sobre after losing the Ashes. Anything to bring up good old Freddie should be frowned upon!

Lol, "Freddie Flintoff's tears are the cure to cancer, Too bad he never cries" should be added!

Because of the "bad" umpiring?
You should congratulate Andrew on making another joke.

Very funny, would be good if a Freddie one was made like the Boon one, some of the quotes on there are fantastic!

Never!
Seriously, don't you agree with me that the 3rd umpires had lost their contact lenses?
That's why I agree with the title of this thread - urban legends!

I remember a similar one on the David Boon Facts one:

"To stop the Cronulla riots, all David Boon had to do was say 'Oi, stop playing, silly buggers!'"
