Dave Podmore's Superinjunction
Further details
When the work dries up for England's laziest cricketer, Dave Podmore resolves to get himself back in the spotlight by keeping himself out of it.
From Mister Clutch openings to Aladdin at the Meatmarket Theatre in Droitwich, the work dries up and Pod resorts to desperate measures to get himself back in the public eye - namely, by keeping himself out of it.
Inspired by recent tabloid stories, Pod changes his name to The Sportsman Who Cannot Be Named For Legal Reasons but the plan backfires when another sportsman is 'outed' and gets all the credit for Pod's misdeeds with Miss Scrumpy Jack in 2007.
But Pod goes one further and takes out a super-injunction, determined that, if the media won't besmirch him, he'll just have to besmirch himself.
