    He spoke a lot of sense. Maybe he is not an obvious dinner guest but his opinions are worth listening to and unlike many of the football media he does actually speak his mind. As regards the many comments suggesting he had a failed career…..how do you define a failed career?

    So…red cards mean you have a failed career…or is it anybody who hasn’t had a long and distinguished international career…? If we apply the same criteria to you in your personal life, how would you your describe your achievements in life? Have you excelled in ANY sphere ? If not are you the personification of abject failure and given to anonymous sniping at people who have international recognition and financial success?

    In fairness he detracts away from what he is saying because he is a clown!! One minute (like that interview) he’s spot on, the next he’s talking out his ar&e!!
