I used t like Steve Claridge for some reason, but he's not half as intelligent as he loves to think he is (and he does love himself), plus his whiny voice has to be amongst the most teeth-grinding sounds ever to emit from a human being. A little earlier, I was listening to Vila v Birmingham on 5Live, and you can tell how he got the gig: basically, while Graham Taylor told Alan Green that he was stupid, Claridge is happy to sit there and laugh like a drain at Green's feeble "jokes". He'll go far.
Don't even get me started on Spoony!
