During his Newcastle and Liverpool days, Dietmar Hamann was known for being an uncompromising midfielder armed with, as East Anglia’s favourite son would attest, a right foot akin to a traction engine.
Judging from his recent punditry stint on RTE, It appears that no nonsense approach hasn’t petered away during retirement.
The former German international was busy giving his opinion on Fernandinho’s painfully poor Champions League gaffe during Man City’s 2-2 draw with PSG, when he uncontrollably blurted;
If I’m a coach of a 10-year-old, if a kid does that on a Saturday, I would go to his parents after the game and ‘say don’t bother coming back next Saturday.
Yeah, they can just f*** right off in the eye of Didi.
Darragh Maloney’s efforts to bring him back down to earth with a quiet ‘Ah, Diddy’ Only adds to the hilariousness.
