I honestly despise Alan Brazil. Not for his views in football - I don’t care about them, everyone entitled to their opinion etc etc - but for the fact that he is exactly the sort of hypocrite that I cannot abide.
A lad from a strongly working class Scottish background who by dint of being good at football was able to make himself some decent money, leading to a career in the media which earned him even more. Nothing wrong with that, success isn’t intrinsically wrong, it’s what we all strive for. It is the fact that the moment he got a few quid he turned his back in his background, his older friends and all the people who shaped him in life and became an archetypal English Tory ****.
Ive heard him spout his shite on the radio about “freeloaders” who “don’t want to work hard”. People he grew up along side. A dispicable twat.
And there is no greater freeloader than he.
That’s before you start on his drink driving and the arrogance he showed when arrested. He was, and is , everything that was wrong with British footballers of his generation. Lazy, feckless, arrogant drunks.
My best mate is a united fan and he regularly tells me of Brazils time at old Trafford. The fans hated him as they could see he was arrogant and lazy who thought he’d arrived after being transferred there. They used to regularly spit on him when he was warming up on the touchline. Not much I agree with united fans about but that was certainly one.
A twat of the very highest order. And Ray fucking Parlour is a slightly more modern version. No wonder they are best friends.
