Yep, I've double checked on that and you're right, he wasn't. I'll have to be more careful of my sources next time. These Chinese whispers get everywhere.

I think you'll find that he wasn't a professional footballer, he's just a massive fan. Apparently he's half Croation and is fluent in the language.

I find Adrian Chiles to be a nice enough bloke but probably one of the least enthusiastic and laid back presenters on tv. His humour is pretty poor. I prefer Gary Lineker who is so natural and always speaks his mind and doesn't toe the company line.

He's not my first choice of presenter, and I only watch him on MOTD2, but I can tolerate him.
He was never a professional footballer unless having a season ticket at the Hawthorns qualifies for that role.

Has gone downhill completely since the initial success of the One Show.
I know loads of people who refuse to watch the One Show ( including our household) anymore after his treatment of Carol Thatcher and his constant smarmy attitude.
The One Show should replace him now before he kills the programme.
Myleene should be brought back and a new male presenter to accompany her.
