UK footie squad wins "Biggest Waste of Space Ever" title

London, Sept.5 : The England football team has finally won something - the title of the "Biggest Waste of Space Ever".

According to the Daily Star, their humiliating failure to qualify for Euro 2008 that won them the top spot.

Steve McClaren's team of multi-millionaires needed just a point from their last group game against Croatia to secure their place the Euro finals. Their 3-2 defeat led to the sacking of McClaren, 47, and saw a nation in despair.

Football fans finally got their revenge yesterday by handing them the unwanted title in a poll by storage products firm www.bigdug.co.uk. Second spot went to jailbird Doherty, 29.

The third place in the poll of 3,000 Brits went to Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

Others to make the Top 20 include glamour girl Jodie Marsh, 29, Mayor of London Boris Johnson, 44, Paris Hilton, 27, and Peaches Geldolf, 19.
