      Who is YouTuber True Geordie?

      by

      TRUE GEORDIE is a YouTuber who burst onto the scene by speaking his mind – but his controversial opinions have seen him shunned.He was in line to be on the panel for KSI’s highly anticipated second fight against Logan Paul… until he got into a row with the Paul brothers and was snubbed.
      True Geordie got into a spat with Tyson Fury after he accused the Gipsy King of taking a fight nobody cares aboutCredit: YouTube: True Geordie
      And he got into a huge spat with Tyson Fury during an interview, which prompted the Gipsy King to blow up into a rage with the YouTuber.
      Who is the True Geordie and what does he do?
      True Geordie – real name Brian Davis – became well-known after his first video went viral.
      The clip, ‘A True Geordie’s view on Nile Ranger’ was followed by further passionate rants concerning his local football team, Newcastle United.
      True Geordie has also uploaded Premier League previews and reviews of the weekend’s action, as well as analysis and panel shows covering a wide range of sports, including Boxing.
      He has built up a following of 1.99 million subscribers and garnered over 248m views.
      What happened during True Geordie’s argument with Tyson Fury?
      True Geordie conducted an interview with the Gipsy King in October 2022.
      He suggested that boxing fans did not care about seeing Fury fight Derek Chisora – when he had originally been lined up to face Anthony Joshua.
      Fury roared: “I think you’re a t****r. You little t***pot.
      “And I won’t be doing any more interviews with you little t***pot, bearded, bald-headed t***er.
      “Kiss my b**ls, you little w**ker. You little s***house.”
      Why was there controversy over him commentating on KSI vs Logan Paul?
      True Geordie was accused by Logan Paul of being biased in his the pre-fight press conference for the 2019 bout, and a hater, after a series of tweets and videos which insulted him.
      A True Geordie video which critiqued Logan Paul’s involvement in the filming of a Japanese suicide, something Paul later apologised for, is one of his most viewed videos, at 3.2million views.

      Meanwhile, True Geordie has been known to tweet insults directed at the Paul brothers, tweeting after KSI’s first fight: “If people thought that commentary was bias then wait until @KSIOlajidebt fights one of the Paul bros. I hope he f***ing wrecks the c****.”
      In revenge, Paul initially refused to allow True Geordie to commentate on the first fight, but an online petition in protest which has since gained over 17,000 signatures helped Davis get the gig.
      With this fight going professional, with Matchroom Boxing promoting the event, and Sky Sports and DAZN paying for rights, the True Geordie was turned down for the role of commentating.
      Instead, YouTube stars Aneson Gib and Joe Weller – both previously spending time in the ring – comnmentated on the rematch from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. More

      England are NOT one of those teams, with the Three Lions last game coming against Germany, who they drew 3-3 with at Wembley in the Nations League.
      Other sides not participating in friendly games are Brazil, France and the Netherlands.
      The list is as follows:

      Saudi Arabia
      Mexico
      Cameroon
      Costa Rica
      Iran
      South Korea

      Croatia
      Poland
      Ghana
      Switzerland
      Japan
      Spain
      Portugal
      Serbia

      Each of those teams have organised friendlies to take place between Wednesday, November 9 and Friday, November 18 – two days before the World Cup starts.

      Who did Gareth Southgate play for and what teams has the England World Cup boss managed?

      by

      GARETH SOUTHGATE is winning sceptical England fans round at this summer’s World Cup.The former Three Lions defender stepped in following the departure of Sam Allardyce and has delivered in Russia with his spirited group of young players.

      Who did Gareth Southgate play for?
      STARTING out as a midfielder or at right-back, Southgate began his playing career at Crystal Palace.
      He came through the youth setup at Selhurst Park and quickly rose through the ranks, being appointed captain for the 1993/94 season.
      The Eagles won promotion to the Premier League as champions that year but yoyo’d between the top two-tiers, with another relegation in 1995.
      Aston Villa came calling and snapped up Southgate for £2.5million – before converting him to a centre-back.
      He played in midfield and at right-back during his Palace daysCredit: PA:Empics Sport
      He won the League Cup during his time in the Midlands, where he spent six seasons and was a near ever-present.
      A move to Middlesborough followed in 2001 and Southgate would end his playing days in the North East, making 160 appearances for Boro over a five-year period.
      The England defender earned 57 caps during his international career and scored twice, whilst he hung up his boots after 638 domestic games.
      The England boss played for three clubs, including VillaCredit: PA:Empics Sport
      What teams has the England World Cup boss managed?
      SOUTHGATE wasted no time heading into management, being appointed Middlesbrough boss in 2006.
      Boro were relegated from the top-flight under his leadership, before he was dismissed in October 2009 with the club sitting fourth in the Championship.
      After a period away from management, Southgate was appointed as the FA’s head of elite development.
      He looked set for a director role, but returned to coaching as the England under-21 boss in 2013.
      After three years with the Young Lions, he was given the full-time role in November 2016 after a successful interim period.
