From ITV...  Ron Atkinson was giving his opinion on players leaving their
clubs in the lurch while they play in the African Nations Cup...

Ron: If they go there why not stop their wages? Why don't they play the
tournament in the summer?
Gabby: Well it does get very hot in the summer.
Ron: That's not an argument. They're from there. They know how hot it is.
Gabby: Well they haven't all been brought up over there, Ron.
Ron: Well if they're not from there, what are they doing playing for them?
Gabby: Well, what about the likes of Andy Townsend playing for Ireland?
Ron: Andy doesn't mind the heat in Ireland.
Gabby: Good to have you back on the show Ron.
