Classic headlines

[Mad Cyril]

I'm no fan of tabloid journalism or tawdry showbiz gossip but I have to say I enjoyed the Sexterminate headline in The Sun concerning Matt Smith's split from his girlfriend.

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

The Sun does come up with the odd good headline. This is still a favourite of mine...

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

and who can forget this.....

Notice, at the time of the infamous "Gotcha" headline being printed it wasn't known that the Belgrano had sunk. People have since said it was in bad taste, but to be fair the large loss of life wasn't known then and the later headlines carried a far more sober front page

Another classic was when Ted Rogers was declared bankrupt.

3, 2, none.

Not forgetting gems from the back pages.

Yanks 2 Planks 0

Swedes 2 Turnips 0

The Celtic, Caley Thistle one has to be the best.

I remember one from the Telegraph in the Eighties. Crystal Palace striker Gerry Queen was sent off for fighting at Selhurst Park. Telegraph headline:

Queen in brawl at Palace

I always thought this would make a good headline.

"Man hit by train - critical"

Critical? If that were me I'd be downright bloody abusive.

"Man hit by train - critical"

Critical? If that were me I'd be downright bloody abusive.

Along the same lines as the classic Not The Nine O'Clock News sketch ...

Mel Smith ..When i caught Gerald in '68 he was completely wild
Gerald the Gorilla .. Wild? i was absolutely livid

From classic to crap....any about Wayne Rooney that shoe-horn in the phrase 'Roo', e.g.
