Well, Alex Scott was, but none of the male footballers have been exactly good. Robbie Savage and David James were both OK-ish.
Not saying Adams isn't exceptionally rigid even for his age and profession, but I think we need to make allowances for age, and he is by some years the oldest contestant this year. Double whammy, really, age - the body won't do what it could have done decades earlier, and the brain won't pick new skills up half as quickly. Old dog new tricks etc. Pamela Stephenson and Debbie McGee were both exceptional on that score.
