Ballon D'Oh Nominations 2011: Liverpool's Nathan Eccleston
Liverpool's Nathan Eccleston took his Dan Brown devotion to dimwitted proportions with a 9/11 Twitter rant.
Nathan Eccleston was a little known Liverpool reserve striker until he unleashed on to the world his dim-witted theories on 9/11 via Twitter. Then everyone knew who he was. And what he was…
In early September Nathan Eccleston was a relatively unknown striker, plying his trade for Liverpool reserves. By the middle of September, Eccleston had made the headlines, not for his goalscoring prowess or footballing ability, but for signalling his intention to become the heir apparent to ex-footballing wacko David Icke. Eccleston made the following comments on Twitter – “I ain’t going to say attack don’t let the media make u believe that was terrorist that did it. #OTIS.” This caused LFC to issue a statement advising Eccleston the club took his comments seriously and would be launching a formal investigation.
The acronym OTIS stands for ‘Only The Illuminati Succeed’, and the reference suggests to me that Eccleston has either recently read Dan Brown’s dirge-tastic novel ‘Angels and Demons’, or watched the awful movie version starring Tom Hanks and Ewan ‘I used to be a good actor’ McGregor.
Eccleston has yet to clarify his comments and so, sadly, we will have to wait to see which nefarious Premier League figures are actually shape shifting alien reptilians, or what his views on the Kennedy assassination are. I will be waiting with baited breath and wearing a commemorative Nathan and Dave tin foil hat.

eccleston will be hard to beat for his dumbness
So if you think that it's possible that people with a lot to gain from never ending wars might have something to do with 9/11 then you believe in reptilian people? ok.......
To Tom Brooks, Footballer or not, young or old, everyone is entitled to his own opinion. Having an opinion that differs with yours, doesn’t make him dumb, or prone to such sarcastic articles. His comment was not hurtful to the people who suffered as a result of the crime committed. He was questioning who did it, and he has all the right to do so.
Have you read any David Icke books Tom ?
He who wrote this artical is the dumb dick.
Have to agree with Fadi and Oliver Tom. Just because he has a different point of view doesn't mean he is stupid. Come on admit it , this article's a bit Shit.
John sorry !!
Yeah im not having this one. He didn't say anything shocking (or that many people haven't wondered about). I think there are countless expdamples of footballers being dumb that would have made better nominations than this. Must do better.
@everybody. He is allowed to have his own opinion, most definitely. What he should be nominated for is letting everybody know he's illiterate!
Nothing dumb about Nathan - look into the American director of the parent organisation whose private jet flew illegal rendition missions for the CIA. Dumb article by a dumb "journalist" who should do thorough research before making such a dumb personal attack on an intelligent young man. And Nathan's just scored 2 goals for the reserves Good lad - YNWA
Everyone is aware the author isn't being too serious right? It has proven that LFC fans are incredibly humourless about their own team. As for scousebilly does anyone with half a brain cell actually think the illuminati are responsible for the attacks? And judging by Ecclestone's vocabulary isn't that of an 'intelligent young man'.
I think some people have failed to see the meaning behind the title ballon d'oh it's meant to be light hearted.
i praise the lad for talking out his own mnd..and as for you idiots bagging him (this goes along for the bellend that wrote this) as far as im concerned u r all sheeps and i bet when the government lick their lips when they see deluded brain washed muppets like ur selves! shame on you people bagging Nathan Eccleston! and this is coming from a Mancunian! United!
