‘He’s just a bit silly. He rings you up and leaves daft messages and silly noises on your phone. It’s just madness. He’s a good lad though.’
Ashley Giles
‘He gives you it straight. If he thinks you’re a pillock, he’ll tell you. He won’t ask for anything that he wouldn’t do himself, that’s the way he is. Hoggy is Hoggy.’
David Byas, former Yorkshire captain
By the HOGGY DOGGIES, BILLY the Doberman and MOLLY the Border Collie
BILLY: So what’s all this about, then?
MOLLY: Apparently, this is the bit of a book where important people or animals are asked to say nice things about the bloke on the front cover.
BILLY: About him? Why I should say nice things about him? All he ever does is shout at me.
MOLLY: That’s because you play too rough half the time, Billy, and you don’t do as you’re told.
BILLY: Whenever I try to play with you, you don’t give me the time of day. You can be a cantankerous old bitch sometimes.
MOLLY: You forget that I’m an old lady. If I was five years younger, I’d still be able to run rings round you.
BILLY: Like to see you try. Anyway, I still don’t see why I should be so nice about the bloke. What does he ever do for us?
