Football villians

[The Camel]

I'm mortified that these two played for my club

I like Adrian Chiles. Seems like a really nice bloke but way out of his depth presenting football on tv.

I really like Merse as a pundit. Cracks me up and doesn't take himself too seriously like so many of the pundits do.

Don't mind Crooks or Claridge either.

I must be going soft in my old age.

totally hated signing this man



about a month later he got the opposing goalkeeper sent off in a play off semi second leg

all was forgiven lol

Two facts I did not know about him until just looking at his wiki page.

He played 88 times for Darlo.

I remember he played for Liverpool, but it turns out he only played 12 times, scoring 6 goals. Why did they get rid so quick after such a decent scoring record?

[TightEnd]

good question

i don't know, or can't recall

liverpool fans of a certain vintage might recall

This is a good article that explains it

Very unfashionable player who the press hated. Seems the only reason he didn't stay longer was Dalglish leaving and souness not liking him (probably a good thing)

Barton as a player, villain, but as a pundit I really like him.  He comes across very well on Radio 5.
Claridge I also really like as a pundit - I always take him as honest and with good insight into the lower league stuff.  As a co-commentator he does struggle to let his pre conceptions go, but on the Monday night club he at least offers an alternative view.

Biggest Villain in Football for me. . .

I've no idea who that is!

Ooops forgot the tag - That is Adrian Durham from Talk Sport, even ignoring the Arsenal baiting he is awful.  Him and Collymore make the channel un-listenable IMO.

[TightEnd]

didn't know that face either but yes, impossible to listen to him for long

[horseplayer]

Durham is/was a superb broadcaster

Sadly lost to doing a show which generates a lot of money for the station and awful columns in the daily mail.

Easy to forget the shows he had on talks port 10 or so years ago on European football way ahead of their time and superb listens
