'I wouldn't p*** on him if he was on fire': Ex-Hartlepool president Jeff Stelling the target of shocking remark from club's former manager

Dave Jones has claimed he 'wouldn't p*** on Jeff Stelling if he was on fire' after the presenter criticised him during his time in charge of Hartlepool United.

Jones, once an Everton player and Cardiff City manager, took over at Hartlepool in January 2017 with the club languishing dangerously close to dropping out of the Football League for the first time in their history.

He endured a torrid spell in the north-east, winning just four of his 18 matches in charge before losing his job in April of the same year, just 48 hours after being the subject of an impassioned rant from Stelling on Sky Sports.
