According to his Wikipedia page Michael Gray is “sometimes known as Micky Gray and is an English former footballer who mostly played at left back, or left wing.” While all this may very well be true they fail to note the fact he’s the kind of man you wouldn’t trust to sit the right way round on a toilet.
Gray was ‘summarising’ on the Leeds game on 5Live Sports Extra at the weekend. If by ‘summarising’ you mean ‘making up your own language’. It was unstoppable idiocy. I just wish i’d started writing down examples before the fiftieth minute. I missed more than half of the stupid remarks. Not even counting half time. Anyway here as some of the choicest fillets what I wrote down;
“I don’t know what the manager said at half time but he said get it out to the wingers.”
“I’ll be looking forward to this game right till the end of it.”
“It coulda went sky high.”
“I thought they’ve been first class.”
“Lloyd Sam’s came on now”
“When they get the ball they’re getting their head up and there seeing there’s a shot on.”
“You can walk with your shoulders proud.”
“The quality’s always came from leeds.”
“They need an important Christmas period.”
I wrote plenty more down but I don’t want to overdo it. Unlike Mikey. I particularly like his use of tenses. He doesn’t play by the rules. You give him the rule book and he throws it out of the window. Or as he’d say; “Michael Gray just throwed the books oot the winda “. Bless.
