Phil Brown calls Andrea Pirlo a homophobe
And the most bizarre statement of the past year goes to… Phil Brown. According to the perma-tanned, erstwhile Hull City & Preston manager, Andrea Pirlo has never played in the Premiership because he hates gay people. Nope, no idea either.

I’d have to say that’s just mangling the language, I think he meant he doesn’t want to leave his country. It’s a badly worded statement but not too surprising given the source.

You’re completely right Paul, that’s exactly what he meant! Still fantastic/unbelievable that he thought home-o-phobic meant the fear of leaving your home/country!
