As the more football-minded amongst you will no doubt know, Andy Gray was (rightly, in A Tune A Day's opinion) sacked by Sky Sports today for being a chauvanistic twonk. Somehow it's taken them the best part of twenty years to realise this. Anyway, the whole story lead me to think about football presentation and punditry in general, and that's where today's tune comes in. 'Bob Wilson, Anchorman', by cult heroes Half Man Half Biscuit, is one of their many scathing, amusing takes on British popular culture. This song expresses disbelief at former Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson holding the chair for ITV. I think it ultimately led to his removal. Unfortunately, they now offer us Adrian Chiles.
I've even been to look for Jim Rosenthal...
