Just caught him punching the air in delight when it was confirmed Rooney equalised what an arse To me he is a useless pundit. He got his job years ago through tokenism, but now tokenism should be dead because so many of our top players, and ex-players are black lads. So fuck the lump of lard right off, how can he be a valid pundit when he must weigh 20 stones??? And he helped to stop the Bernard Manning show down Stoke...PRICK can you remember the ill conceived bernard manning show down at trentham gardens in the mid 80s? it was a "gentlemens" evening with strippers and a Q+A session with the vale and stoke manager of the time . it turned into the biggest brawl ive ever seen with us and the vale at it with chairs, tables and glasses thrown everywhere, and full on fist fights for about 15 mins. manning pleaded with the 2 sets of supporters to give it up but to no avail. never seen so many old bill and ambulances respond to an incident.

Garth crooks is a bug eyed freak I had the misfortune of watching final score one week last season and I couldn't watch more than 20 minutes of it. I would rather listen to Ian dowie for fuck sake !

As a young stokie I remember Crooks and really like him as a player and was gutted when he left, but one memory that I will aways have was when he scored for West Brom at West Brom. He slid on his knees towards the Stoke fans both fists clenched and from then on I had lost all respect for the bloke. He has never in my eyes since the day he left us looked back with any affection for the club or it's fans!

Garth is by far and away the best pundit we see on the BBC, such an entertainer.

Crooks has the misguided belief that his views are THE definitive analysis of all matters football. Someone should tell him what a complete idiotic fool he is and what a complete embarrassment he is a TV pundit. His accent is painful , his opions bizarre and his loyalty to this area non existent.
He is without doubt a complete clown whose career would be best served in a circus.
An absolute disgrace.

Define "loyalty to your upbringing". Do Lineka, Hansen, Logan et al ever show any loyalty to their heritage? Garth was a great player IMO. Just think his punditry is hilarious and his interviewing makes riveting viewing if just for wondering what Grath is going to ask next? If not speaking with a broad Potteries accent after living away from there for past 25 years is not being loyal to your heritage then he is guilty as charged.

yep, great reply, i think the majority of posters would shed their accent if they could? Having lived away from the area for 20 odd years mine has faded, until i speak to someone from the area for a few minutes. The one perkkon who has tried harder than most to shed his potteries accent is our chairman, should we hound him out for it?

Garth Crooks.: ‘I’ve just watched the replay and there is absolutely no doubt – it’s inconclusive.’
It's not his accent, it's the fact that he's a fuckwit.

As a pundit he is utter shit but I have no problem with his constant indifference towards us. Prefer that to the fake platitudes we get from the likes of Macari and Thomas who claim to be followers of Stoke until Manure are in town then it's all 'we'll have a tough game at Stoke' and 'Sir Alex will have us fired up for this one' Fuck 'em......

What you saw is what you got with Bernard, it's the nice guys with a hidden agenda you need to worry about.

Garth Crooks to Bernard Manning in one move - only on the Oatcake? Why are people going on about accents by the way? The thing that's chapped arses on here is seeing the born and bred Stokie out of his seat and punching the air when Rooney equalised? He's an utter bellend. By the way, I think you'll find plenty of Leicester loyalty from Lineker, Shearer for Newcastle and Hansen for Liverpool so that's bollocks as well.

crooks as always being a wanker, i for one remember him constantly slagging us off when he left for the bright lights years ago, he his a boring prick lord nose how he gets his commentary, like as bin said on here previously it can only be tokenism by the bbc, he dont get that job on merit or being interesting to the public he his a joke. Hand to show what a piece of shit he is you only after listen to him discuss the area he grew up in, a lot of it maybe a dump but its our dump and I for one are proud to come from Stoke On Trent
