His penalty miss against the Germans in the World Cup semi-finals has kept the woeful Geordie in the Top 10 for over 20 years but with the cabinet reshuffle still fresh in people’s minds, not even the threat of eating a puppy live on air will help make him appear more loathsome in this nation of pet lovers - not while William Hague still has a day job to go to.<br /> Some critics have warned that if the Tories win the next election, the whole ‘swimming-pool guest’ landscape could change forever and we may never see a spiralling dog-turd reach the top of the unwelcome pile ever again.<br /> That list in full<br /> No.01 : Education Secretary Michael Gove<br /> No.02 : Community Secretary Eric Pickles<br /> No.03 : Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt<br /> No.04 : PM David Cameron<br /> No.05 : Chancellor George Osborne<br /> No.06 : Culture Secretary Maria Miller<br /> No.07 : A&amp;R oligarch Simon Cowell<br /> No.08 : Dog turd<br /> No.09: World Cup penalty misser Chris Waddle<br /> No.10 : Space waster Jeremy Clarkson </p>
