Sky has announced Andy Gray's contract has been terminated for unacceptable behaviour

Not only is Andy Gray sexist, he was also the worst pundit

Andy Gray, Sky Sports’ leading football pundit, has found himself at the centre of a sexism row following his off-air comments about assistant referee Sian Massey.

Along with lead presenter Richard Keys, the pair concurred that female officials “don’t know the offside rule” with Keys adding: “I can guarantee you there’ll be a big one today. (Liverpool manager) Kenny (Dalglish) will go potty.”

When not making sexist comments, Gray was renowned for his over-blown (and sometimes questionable) analysis.

It's important to keep footie traditions alive


And without wanting to kick a pundit when he’s down, it would appear football fans have had enough. A recent poll for FootballFanCast.com which asked ‘who is the worst pundit in the English game?’ saw Gray came out well on top.

The Scotsman scooped 24 per cent of the vote, beating Garth Crooks and Jamie Redknapp in the process, which is quite an achievement. Perhaps it was comments such as “I watched the game and I saw an awful lot of it,” and “It’s what I call one of those ‘indefensible ones’ – you can’t defend against them,” that saw him win the vote.

Here’s the top ten worst pundits, as voted for on FootballFanCast.com

1. Andy Gray (21%)

2. Garth Crooks (18%)

3. Jamie Redknapp (14%)
