Apart from him being 27, the rest is all news to me
Are we competing to see how ignorant we are now? 
I never thought Iâd see dumbing down in effect on TAN.

âDidi Hamann would be great on Countdown. Steven Gerrard? Maybe not so muchâ â host and Liverpool fan Colin Murray gives his verdict to FFT
After an extensive career in broadcasting, Colin Murray became the new host of Countdown in 2022.
The Northern Irishman is a lifelong Liverpool fan â during an interview for the season preview issue of FourFourTwo magazine, he was asked which Reds players past or present might be the most or least suitable as hypothetical Countdown contestants.
Immediately, he chose two people heâs got to know during his broadcasting career. âDietmar Hamann would be fantastic at it â heâs really sharp,â Murray told FourFourTwo. âStephen Warnockâs a clever boy so heâd be very good, too.â
As for who might not fare quite so well, Murray pondered his answer and made his choice, despite his love for the man concerned, and his vast contributions to Liverpool Football Club.
âIâd have Steven Gerrard on Countdown tomorrow, but he was once asked in an interview what his favourite cheese was and his answer was âMeltedâ, so he may not be greatâŚâ Murray said. âSorry if youâre reading this, Stevie, you can still come on the show!â
Murray was present for Gerrardâs finest hour in a Liverpool shirt, the final of the 2005 Champions League in Istanbul, when the skipper held the Reds turn around a 3-0 deficit, before Rafa Benitezâs side triumphed on penalties, becoming European champions for the fifth time in their history.

Asked to choose his favourite piece of football memorabilia, Murray chose something from that night.
âThe flag me and my mates took to Istanbul in 2005,â he said. âWhen Andriy Shevchenko takes the penalty that Jerzy Dudek saves, ITV say âThe weight of Europe is on his shouldersâ.
âIf you pause it at that moment, on his shoulder is our flag, saying âYou canât beat a bit of Istan-bully, super smashing Redsâ, with a picture of Bully from Bullseye in a Liverpool top.â

I donât think I saw this transfer but Victor Palsson has suddenly appeared at Plymouth.
33 year old CB thesedays, so of course Rooney is playing him at RB.

What a legend.
No, they are. Actually, Mathews would have fallen foul of the previous cutoff, which was âpost-warâ.
Oh, I see. They were talking about âPremier League eraâ It must be harder to keep going these days with all those pristine pitches and sports therapists.
