Removed this quote as it lacks impartiality.

'Although seemingly well respected among his BBC peers, his 'predictions' on their football website often fail to justify this kudos. He is forever belittling towards so-called 'smaller' clubs in favour of adopting an altogether sychophantic approach to more media-favourable outfits, especially the 'big 4'. This had led to large sections of the football fan community not only being enraged by his comments, but also questioning the very-average defender's ability to offer incisive, impartial critiques of football.'

Libel/Vandalism

I deleted the following paragraph on the grounds that I can find no evidence to support its assertions and they are potentially libellous:

His career as a BBC pundit has been blighted by rumours that he spends his Friday nights cottaging in a forest close to the family home. This was denied and he was successful in his libel case against The Daily Echo. Half of the money won from this went to local cancer charities while the other half went on an expensive eternity ring for fellow commentator John Motson. The two now live together in sin.
