I think that's a good point Si. There are quite a few blokes who I hated as players, but have warmed to or even like as pundits. Schmeichel and Shearer are the two that stand out the most for me. What Leeds fan didn't hate Shearer for his copying of Clarke's goal celebration, his gloating baby face, and the number of goals he scored against us? Yet I find myself agreeing with a lot of what he says on the telly, and how we talks straighter than a lot of the other pundits. And I absolutely detested Peter Schmeichel when he was in goal for Man U, but he seems a really entertaining and fair minded bloke when he's punditing.
