The Tom Ross Column: Milwall fan Danny Baker is a plonker who should lay off Wolves and Birmingham City
THERE is a sometime radio presenter called Danny Baker who I don’t know too much about other than he is a bit of a plonker who supports Millwall and does a show on a national BBC station.
He said just a week or so ago that he was saying a prayer hoping Blues and Wolves failed to win promotion to the Premier League as they would be an embarrassment to the top flight.
What right has this buffoon to make such outrageous statements on BBC radio?
This, by the way, is the man who quite clearly and irresponsibly was a Paul Gascoigne hanger-on who encouraged him to drink when a real friend would have been keeping Gazza away from alcohol.
In addition, it’s hard to name a team more embarrassing than Millwall and some of their thuggish fans.
I still remember being kept on the pitch with the Mail’s Colin Tattum and the Blues players until almost midnight at the New Den in 2002 after Steve Bruce’s men had beaten them in the semi-final of the play-offs.
