Andy Gray: "For the first time in the last ten years, I think this is the best opportunity

When a shady talking head with links to a bookmaking organisation tells you to Buy A, contrarian
Reality suggests that a Sell of A might be more in your interest.
For a couple of years, it looked as if "100 Greatest" or "50 Greatest" television programmes
might just eat up the whole of the schedules in Britain. Channels gave over whole evenings to
raiding their archives and there was hardly a subject that they didn't broach. The results, perhaps
predictably, were often mixed but occasionally they got it just about right and this is what
happened with "The 100 Greatest World Cup Moments".
I thought I should jump in on this issue while the water is still warm and explain an Irish view

Towards the end of last season, Italian satirical news program Striscia la Notizia had a segment
called "Campionato Italiano Velocit Calciatori" (or the Italian Championship of
footballer's driving speeds). In this segment, two comedians (Cristiano Militello and Valerio
Staffelli), went to the training grounds of 7 Serie A clubs and waited for various players to drive
away in their nice cars commenting it like a Formula 1 race, and then with a radar gun saw how fast
they were going and how many kilometers over the speed limit they went, making it into a
competition of sorts to see who was the most reckless Serie A driver.
Liverpool footballer Jamie Carragher was among the winners at last

The defender saw off competition from comedians Ken Dodd and Ricky Tomlinson and actress Sue
Johnston to win the Celebrity Champion Award.
The celebrities were shortlisted for their contribution to the community.
