THE CATFLAP CHINWAG WITH…

Les Ferdinand

Bulldozing striker, keen eyed pundit, chopper pilot, sax player, chef, racing driver and, if rumours are to be believed, one of the nippers behind vandalising the Blue Peter garden back in the 80s. Meet SIR LES FERDINAND, football’s action man…

 

How’s the punditry going?

It’s going well at the moment it’s been good fun.

 

Who’s the most annoying pundit on TV?

If they’re annoying I don’t really watch them so I don’t know really!

 

Very diplomatic of you. Are you missing playing the game?

It’s funny if I watch it on TV I can watch it and appreciate it but if I go to a live game, that’s when I really get the buzz and really miss being involved with what’s going on.

 

At which of your many clubs did you enjoy yourself the most?

Probably Newcastle. The players I was playing with, the fact that the club was trying to win the Premiership, it saw itself as a big club and it acted like a big club and just being around the whole place at the time, being based in the North East, was great.
