TalkSPORT'S Alan Brazil calls Morrissey / The Smiths boring
posted by davidt on Wednesday June 28 2006, @12:00PM

 Nick Spence writes:
Wednesday morning talkSPORT radio presenter Alan Brazil, the former football star, called Morrissey and The Smiths 'boring'. Fellow presenter Adrian Durham leaped to Morrissey's defense citing lyrics word for word from 'The Queen Is Dead' as examples of Morrissey's "genius". Brazil's response "Call The Samaritans". The conversation took up much of the World Cup breakfast show, with many anti-Morrissey comments read out over the air. Mike Parry, another presenter said he had never heard a Morrissey single, adding he had been told he sounded like a cat in a metal bucket. Adrian had the last word saying "Morrissey's awesome".

Basically sums Alan Brazil up.
Used to play for Man Utd in the '80's for about 3 weeks and was hated by all for being well, a fat scotch twat.

this site I thought was about Morrissey's Music. and about Moz fans.

So if this fuck dont care for the Smiths or Moz,

Why Do you waste your Valuable time? Writing about someone who don't care if Moz live or Die

    Is that posture of Alan Brazil related in anyway to the machoism implied in this type of sport, or is football unrelated to an antagonism for the lyricism and the delicate melancholia of our former Moz (who is still, I think, confused with the actual, tougher, yet, yes, still gentle Moz)? Strangely, Moz was also an athletic type, somebody nobody messed around with in highschool (so I heard), and he is apparently very fond of football. I just wonder if there are many English football fans, or hooligans, that suffer from "an impending" aversion to the "cat voice in a buckle". In other words, if this aversion is cultural.

    Hate the fact the last name of this guy is the same of a country who was so welcoming of Moz, though :(

          How bad are things when all we seem to be doing these days is get uptight about what non-entities likes Richard Madely and Alan fecking Brazil think of Moz. There's a touch of Alan Partridge about the whole thing. Alan Brazil...smell my cheese!

            I always think it's a shame when people don't 'get' Morrissey and are unable to break free from constrictions and actually appreciate how wonderful he is. There are lots of them too. Alas, it's their loss. No point in getting hung up about it though.

                Footballers are renowned for bad haircuts, but Alan Brazil was the worst offender.

                Bald up top with massive afro frizz sticking out of both sides. Ugly as sin.

                Did ok at Ipswich, went to Manchester United where he couldn't cut it with the big boys and then drifted off into obscurity.

                Turns up years later on Talksport, a radio programme for people who think The Sun is too intellectual. Talks bollocks for a living now.

                By the way, all his hair has fallen out and he looks about seventeen stone. Sad old has been.
