Why is John Barnes suddenly all over the media

Porn and racism.

Anyone who doesn't like that is a snake, a gay snake.

Big Mike Wedderburn has been presenting SSN for years as well

(Not to say that it isn't an issue btw: there is definite underrepresentation in terms of sports presenting and anchoring roles)

Stitched him right up there

Is there?

Is there?

Beyond SSN, I'm struggling to think of anchors/presenters of major sports programmes. Reasonable representation in roles like punditry and analysis, but not in key presenting roles. Who am I missing?

I dunno, you're maybe right. TV has always seemed to me one of the few places the BAME community was well represented.

Seems a bit base to list folk but anyway....Off the top of my head Jason Mohammed and Manish on BBC presenting final score and football focus. The guy Ore who won strictly is prominent. The basketball player in the wheelchair. Ian Wright on 5 live.

Live football in the UK is just about always presented by jeans and tweed blazer middle aged white men: Jake Humphrey, Ed Chamberlain, David Jones, Lineker, Dan Walker, Pougatch, Darrell Currie, Mark Chapman etc.

You get diversity in pundits by the nature of them almost always being ex-players but I'm not sure I've ever seen someone non-white as the presenter.
Scottish football on Sky has a female presenter but that's presumably because it's the league they care the least about

Fair shout with Manish, actually, although I'd say he has been largely relegated to the lower league stuff rather than a prominent programme. He's a dece presenter though

Terrifying if Ian Wright genuinely gets to present

Reminds me of a classic channel 5 show from back in the day: John Barnes' Football Night He was both the worst and the best presenter ever

I want to say Garth Crooks but, given I can't place where I've seen him presenting, I doubt it really makes much of a case.

This insta looks decent for retro tops. Not a bad price.
