Even if he had never been anywhere near the Albion, I'd keep him very close to the top of my list of unpleasant individuals I've had to deal with in the past.

If you really want to get upset, try this. Extract from Brighton & Hove Albion v Doncaster Rovers programme, Saturday 26 April 1997, page 37.
I had a lot of dealings with him when he was an East Sussex County Councillor and I was a council officer. Most councillors (of all parties) are quite decent people, who appreciate the work of the staff who work for them. Bellotti was an exception. He never said thank you, he always took the credit for the work that was done on his behalf and he invariably threw blame at the officers when things got difficult for him. And he rarely took our advice. We were expected to jump to his orders, even when he didn't know what he was doing.I feel your waiting to be asked Lord B.
So carry on, what happened when you had to deal with him? I mean its not like you could taint his reputation now is it?

And I'm not the only one to have a dim view of him.
