Kevin Keegan was branded a relic of the 1970s today after he admitted: 'I don’t like to listen to ladies talking about the England men’s team'.

The former footballer and manager, 72, said he has a 'problem' with female pundits discussing men's football at a live event in the West Country.

The ex-England and Newcastle United manager, who also enjoyed a glittering career as a player, has sparked criticism - although he admitted himself 'it may not be a view shared' by others and said some women pundits were better than the men.

Speaking to an audience of approximately 250 people in Bristol who attended An Evening With Kevin Keegan OBE, he said he did not like listening to 'an England lady footballer' providing analysis of Gareth Southgate's team.
