Bearing this in mind, former Celtic, Norwich City and Blackburn Rovers striker Chris Sutton certainly fits the description because he has created quite the online stir after his recent appearance on Match of the Day 2. Sutton is no stranger to being on camera, he has frequently done work for Setanta/Eir, but the larger audience of MOTD2 has created a bigger reaction.

In one camp, there are people that absolutely love his no-nonsense, direct and dry delivery. On the other, well, they also made their opinions known.

Here's the view of Sutton and supporters (the new SAS if you will)
