With Gary Neville stepping into Andy Gray’s shoes at Sky, the former United defender joins the long list of players who have made the transition from the pitch to a paid-up pundit and in Neville’s case with relative ease.

To be fair to Neville, a player who irritated me greatly, he is one of the decent analysts out there who has a genuine insight into the game of football and is actually educating those listening over tactics, positioning and the general mindset of players and teams at certain points within the game. He has the ability to be amusing as well, as he highlighted with his critique of David Luiz’s performances this season, and doesn’t have to rely on cheesy puns or jokes that are served up by the regular goons on the Beeb. Neville has certainly opened my eyes and dispelled the myth that footballers actually have a brain and have something to offer as pundits.

Below is a list of ten players turned pundits who irritate me greatly
