I've warmed to Crooksy after he defended Stoke in the televised cup match v The Geordies.
Only slightly though, because you can't speak in a "put-on" accent and not be considered a twat. It's the law.

To be fair to Crooksy he's lived longer in That London than he did up here so he will have lost some of it, don't know how he lost that much though

I take issue with this. Garth Crooks does not speak 'some crap', he speaks total crap.

As a Stoke player, he was a mini God. As a tv pundit, I'm sorry to say he comes over as the token black. He speaks crap, but doesn't even do it naturally, he affects a London accent. Sorry Garth, loved you once. Gone off you now.

I thought we'd done this topic to death a few weeks ago Ah well - here's my fourpenn'orth: He probably isn't putting on his accent. A combination of living down south for nearly 30 years and compulsory BBC elocution lessons mean that he just speaks like that now. I've lived out of Stoke for more than 25 year and most of my Stoke accent is gone although, like Crooksy, the intonation is still there and is very recognisable to any other Stokie. It happens. It's natural. He still talks shite, though ;D

If you put 'Garth Crooks is a wanker' into Google you get one hell of a lot of web pages Particularly like this Liverpool fan 'he's a conniving little worm who needs a good slap. I remember one year we were playing Spurs at Wembley and he was posing with Hoddle in front of the tunnel after a pre match walkabout and a couple of pies and sandwiches flew their way. He went straight to a policewoman and pointed out someone and asked her to get him arrested. I was near enough to hear what she said to him and she just laughed and told him to grow up and get down the tunnel...................'

Linx, I'm agreeing with you again. No-one listening to Garth would think he came from the South, he's just got a slightly pretentious North Staffs accent. Coatesy has got less of an accent than Garth but you'd know where he came from too. My issue with Garth is he's made himself so totally bland, which has got worse as the years go by.
