He's a jumped up nobody who only had the career he did have because of the rag mafia, nothing to do with ability.
As a player he was capable, limited and a bit unadventurous, but capable nonetheless. But under the tutelage of the piss-stained Ayatollah, David Gill, and other shadowy figures in the boardroom at the swamp, he was pushed to the forefront within the playing staff and, being both English and a rag, he of course got his call up to the national team.
Since then he has become an unofficial ambassador for his boyhood club, and he uses this position to promote both the club and himself - all courtesy of Sky Sports. He also uses this platform as a soapbox from which he spouts his political views, undermining the credibility of this particular broadcasters' claim of unbiased and fair reporting.
He's the archetypal shop-steward with his Hitler toothbrush moustache, strutting about on the factory floor with his flat cap and his overalls, and his 'everybody out' clarion call to his union colleagues.
He's also a ****.
