Was also going to post Bamford.Bamford is famously quite posh
Found the fox hunter.He didn't sound that posh.
If you spend as much time as he does around footballer’s he’s bound to have some of his airs and graces rubbed off. Still, though. Listen to how he says up the Clarets.He sounds a little posh, but he still added the glottal stop in the words 'delighted' and 'started', which is not very proper of him, and rather uncouth.
How many forks does his butler place on his dinner table?
They all have fecking double barrelled surnames these days. Anyone under 20 anyway.Any footballer with a double-barrel surname is a member of the Conservative party
The kids who go to posh schools usually have wealthy parents and if you’ve got wealthy parents then surely that makes it easier to dedicate yourself to a dream which has only a very small chance of coming true? Same rationale that sees a disproportionate amount of posh pop stars over the last few decades.Can't think of any. You get some rich ones, sons of ex-players being obvious ones but most of the time they're not really posh.
Oliver Gill, if you could even call him a footballer was obviously well-to-do as well.
Suppose being a footballer is something you've got to commit to from a young age, hard to mix studying at Eton and a place at Oxbridge with that. Mind you, I remember reading that a massively disproportionate percentage of British Olympians went to posh fee-paying schools. They do have great sporting facilities and good coaching.
The richer parents can afford to send their kids for professional training etc.....The kids who go to posh schools usually have wealthy parents and if you’ve got wealthy parents then surely that makes it easier to dedicate yourself to a dream which has only a very small chance of coming true?

Yes, I suppose you're right but still it doesn't seem to happen that often with football. Probably because of the types of sports that are focused on at these schools. Plenty of posh rugby union and cricket players out there of course, and looking at this breakdown of medallists from the Olympics, it is the sports that require expensive facilities and equipment where the more well off do better.The kids who go to posh schools usually have wealthy parents and if you’ve got wealthy parents then surely that makes it easier to dedicate yourself to a dream which has only a very small chance of coming true?

Absolutely nothing could be further from the truth!Found the fox hunter.
How is it possible to be called something like Rutgerus Johannes Martinus van Nistelrooij, Aloysius Paulus Maria van Gaal, or Johannes Vennegoor of Hesselink and not be posh?Posh and wealthy isn't necessarily the same though right? Most new money people are barbarian scum. At least, that's what the people in my parent's neighbourhood told me.
I don't think I know a single posh Dutch footballer... Posh people play field hockey here.
Catholics just like to give their children multiple weird names. Vennegoor of Hesselink sounds sort of posh, but to be really posh it should've been Johannes van Vennegoor tot Hesselink, which would indicate that his lordship stretches from Vennegoor to Hesselink.How is it possible to be called something like Rutgerus Johannes Martinus van Nistelrooij, Aloysius Paulus Maria van Gaal, or Johannes Vennegoor of Hesselink and not be posh?
Or do lots of Dutch people have wacky aristocratic sounding names?
Ah, interesting. I guess that explains the latin-sounding stuff as well.Catholics just like to give their children multiple weird names. Vennegoor of Hesselink sounds sort of posh, but to be really posh it should've been Johannes van Vennegoor tot Hesselink, which would indicate that his lordship stretches from Vennegoor to Hesselink.
I was kind of sad growing up that I only have a single first name actually and I'm probably more posh than Ruud, Van Gaal en Jan Vennegoor combined.
But still not that posh.
indeed. he’d have to be the crumpet rack rather than the crumpet at my country club.He didn't sound that posh.

He just sounds southern, not especially posh.If you spend as much time as he does around footballer’s he’s bound to have some of his airs and graces rubbed off. Still, though. Listen to how he says up the Clarets.
He's a flash cockney, his favourite meal is pie, mash and jellied eelsSurely there's only one answer to this question - Mr Posh himself.
