He's been too successful for his own good; his ego got out of control.

Working class guy who was unable to handle earning 7 figures a year.

Ugly fukker as well !



What a strange thing to say.


Really, so if he was earning £30k a year in a Dundee cake making company, he'd be the same bloke ?

He wasn't in the football era that made such money - he's made it at Sky and even then, not from day one.

He was VERY good at his job, which some ( including you) seem to have forgotten.

I don't think he was very good at his job, he was a patronising git who pandered to the media teams, especially Man U.

No, I can't see a single thing to suggest that his problem was his working class background leading to him being unable to handle making a large amount of money.

He managed it very well for 30 years.

I've not "forgotten" he was very good at his job, either, I didn't like him, and I thought he was poor at it.

Because if you want to watch Premier League football in this country, you don't (didn't) have much of a choice?

Frankly, I'd simply like to remember a striker who helped making supporting Villa in my early-teens a pleasure.

Other than that, his is a story that could be told by plenty of a certain type of man who happen to have the fame/wealth/je ne sais quoi to attract a certain type of woman.  It is not unique to the spheres of football or TV.

I watched cos I am interested in football. Amazing, eh? That might be the weirdest post I've ever read on here.

My first real football hero, hence the 'Oh Andy' ( You're the greatest the Holte end say).
He is a sleezeball according to various people I know that have met him but I thought he was excellent on Sky and I'm not enjoying their coverage as much without him. On the other hand that hairy handed c**t Keys hated the Villa and I am pleased he's got his desserts.

Not having the benefit of a good education ?   , My ideology is that regardless of the person having a good education or not , Its down to the person him or her self to educate themselves , The excuse that i was not educated properly  or i went to a poor school is futile in my eyes .  Gaining knowledge is effortless in this day and age its down to the will of one to educate themselves.

While I understand your point that info is easier to access now than ever before, you're failing to realise that not everyone was brought up with the ideology of bettering themselves through education.

And going to a poor school is obviously the main reason why some people are poorly educated, that and other causes, poverty, undiagnosed learning difficulties, etc. You're being unfair.

Judging by your irregular use of punctuation and capital letters, you're not too well off in the education department yourself.

Aye of course going to a a school that is located in an rough area is obviously going to poorly educate pupils due to the idiots that disrupt lessons .  ...  Poverty has got nothing to do with it .A kid in Africa will grasp the opportunity given to them if they had the same opportunity to learn , here the snotty little bastards have got it too easy .

My initial point still stands regardless of your upbringing or what school you attended no body has an excuse anymore (unless they suffer from learning difficulties )  .

And my mistake i did not know that it was required to be punctual in a forum , i should check up on the Internet rulebook on that one ...

BURN!

Why do people put a space before commas and full stops? Someone I work with, who went to Oxford University, does it. I just don't get it. It takes more effort to type like that. They must see that it's wrong. I imagine they're only interested in what they have to say and ignore everyone else to the point that they don't notice .

Its called not caring about the way you type on an Internet forum .... why should i type punctually , what have i got to prove ?
