The most famous British headline of all time is ' FREDDIE STARR ATE MY HAMSTER ' , The Sun , 13th March 1986 .
After a night on the tiles in Manchester , Freddie Starr lurched home and demanded a sandwich . The sandwich was not forthcoming , so he put his hostess' hamster between two slices of bread ( probably Sunblest ready-sliced) and proceeded to masticate .
Starr denied that he ever did this in a later book ' I have never eaten or nibbled a live hamster , gerbil, guinea pig , mouse , shrew, vole or any other small mammal' .
