The word iconic is overused too.

Definitely. I am going to cheer me up by searching online for the sporting mavericks. It will distract me from worrying about the current Championship table.

My maverick research so far:
Golf. John Daly. Quote "Nicotine + caffeine = protein"
Rugby Union. Danny Cipriani. Once tried tackling a bus. Just one of many misdemeanours.
Football. Robin Friday. Impersonated a police officer to get drugs.
Cricket. David Boon. 52 beers on one plane flight.

Sorry To Tell You This But John Daly Is A Hardcore MAGA & A Good Friend Of Trump

Don't think that was part of the criteria. I also don't condone tackling a bus or impersonating a policeman to get drugs!

For Maverick also see Ricardo flying home to play in fictitious International match, infuriating Pulis who benched him for the next game…. From which he (of course) emerged to score the winner….. You’re right recency bias has an influence on the bar naming, but a wonderful player nevertheless 😊
