London, Mar 24 : Former football player and now broadcaster Gary Linekar has landed the top spot in a poll of Britain's favourite bad boy even though he has never been booked in his entire career.

The poll, which was organized by OnePoll.com and 2,000 Brits were asked to participate, placed Simon Cowell at number two.

Prince Harry landed the third spot while Jude Law stood fourth.
