Chris Sutton, a favorite among Celtic fans, has become a prominent figure in the world of football punditry. Known for his straightforward and often provocative opinions, Sutton has been a regular presence on various media platforms, including social media, BBC Radio, and now Sky Sports.
Sutton’s career as a player was marked by success, particularly during his time at Celtic, where he played alongside legendary striker Henrik Larsson. He was also a key figure in Blackburn Rovers’ title-winning team. However, it seems that Sutton’s path to becoming a TV pundit was not always a planned one.
According to former teammate Bobby Petta, Sutton once told his Celtic teammates that he would never go on TV. Yet, here he is, providing commentary and challenging opinions on various platforms. Petta praises Sutton’s ability to stir the pot and encourage discussion, noting that his Dutch heritage has instilled in him a desire to back up his opinions.
Sutton’s transition from player to pundit has been a successful one, and he is now widely recognized for his insightful and often humorous commentary. Despite his initial reservations about appearing on TV, Sutton has clearly found his niche and is enjoying the opportunity to share his thoughts and opinions with a wider audience.
