Top 10 sporting cry babies
WELCOME to the biggest sob story of them all.
But before I reveal the top 10 blubbers from the world of sport, let me run over some ground rules.
This is strictly MEN only. We expect the ladies to shed a tear now and again. What we enjoy is seeing the so-called hard men of sport dropping their guard and getting a little misty round the peepers.
So sorry Paula Radcliffe, Jana Novotna, Marion Jones, dry your eyes, you're not for this list.
Secondly, the waterworks need to have been turned on in the most public of arenas possible, a world championship, an Olympics, a cup final.
So Paul Merson stand down, Michael Vaughan put away your hankie, Hansie Cronje rest easy, your press conference revelations are safe from scrutiny here.
That's enough explanation, let the tears begin.
1 Cristiano Ronaldo - Football
NOT so much a Portugeezer as a Portugirlie!
Come on Cristiano, nobody needs to cry this much.
In our picture above, Crissy the cissy is being comforted by Portugal team-mate Tiago after defeat by Greece in the final of Euro 2004.
But it doesn't end there. As you will see from our pictures below, his face is no stranger to the moisturising effect of natural leakage from the eyes.
2 Andre Agassi - Tennis
3 Paul Gascoigne - Football
4 Matthew Pinsent - Olympic oarsman
5 John Terry - Football
6 Oliver McCall - Boxing
7 David Beckham - Football
8 Mika Hakkinen - Formula 1
