Micah Richards' rise to Super Sunday regular has come out of the leftfield, in the void of Manchester City legends to call on in television. You may hate his guts: but you can't deny what he adds to the team. It's just like it was in his playing days. Keane tears ex-teammates ('Peter Schmeichel was overrated') and total strangers apart equally (see his tiff with Tim Cahill last season), seemingly unimpressed with anything in the modern game and with a weekly axe to grind. He's even had fiery conversations with Jurgen Klopp on-air. Any lack of effort is jumped upon like a guard dog, as the irate Irishman will quite happily berate just about any current player or manager in the game. While we always knew he liked a scrap on the field, his adoration for arguing is excellent television, whether he's talking about how far United have fallen, the lack of steel in the Arsenal midfield or just how much he hates the game that gave him this platform.

Keano is the chief firestarter of football punditry. You don't have to have agreed with anything that Roy Keane has ever said nor do you have to have appreciated anything achieved in his trophy-laden career. It's hard to imagine Sky without him, either way. The Scot has become the incumbent work-rate demander on Sky Sports and sets the tone for the broadcaster's post-match chats about just how south one or more of the big six are heading: he's well and truly part of the furniture now.Īnd every now and then, Souey gives us a glimpse of the man we all wonder must be under that brusque exterior when he tells us how he's becoming more environmentally friendly or how difficult it is to talk about mental health. He even signed Ali Dia - so the fact he sells the idea that he can't believe what he's just seen from Rob Holding is almost BAFTA-worthy.Īs a pundit, Souness has adopted a similarly gruff and vaguely miffed persona that he did in the game, in which seemingly only David Silva has impressed him in his last 30 years of watching the sport he knows and (hates to admit) he loves.

He won everything there was to win in football - and then he had a fairly decent career in management in which he saw everything, from the incendiary reaction to placing a large Galatasaray flag into the centre circle of the Fenerbahce pitch, to two of his own players fighting on the turf at Newcastle United (he offered them both out). It's easy to forget but Graeme 'middle-aged man shouting at cloud' Souness was one of the very finest midfielders of a generation.
