Ex-players as pundits and managers

[Joe King]

In the post Damned United, Clough revival it’s been jaw dropping to watch his TV punditry from 20 or 30 years ago. The choicest was the 1986 Itv coverage of England v Morocco in Mexico. Mick Channon wadded in with the plodding analysis that ‘England’s problem is an inability to get by people, to get bodies in the box. The Brazilians do it. The Argentineans do it. The Danes do it.”
Clough just out of shot “Even educated fleas do it,”

Genius.

Clough wasn't a very good pundit from my understanding - rude would be an understatement.
