    The 41-year-old finished his career in 2014 with Coventry City after having stints with Sheffield Wednesday, Colchester United, Nottingham Forest and Swindon Town.
    And during his retirement he joined Sky Sports’ punditry line-up as a Championship expert.
    The Hull-born ace became a regular on football fans’ television screens, but few would recognise him with his changed looks.
    Fans even took to social media to suggest he looks just like TV personality Rylan Clark with the ex-pro sporting a tan alongside a similar beard and haircut.

    A third added: “Just watching Sky Sports News and David Prutton just appeared as Rylan.”
    The former central-midfielder made 62 Premier League appearances during his career, scoring two goals and providing four assists.
    But he thrived during his time in League One where he featured 183 times, netting 14 goals and registering a further 11 assists.
    Prutton also represented England at U21s level where he featured 25 times between 2000 and 2003.

    Sean Dyche calls out Sky Sports over gaffe live on TV leaving pundits in stitches before Everton’s clash with Doncaster

    SEAN DYCHE left the Sky Sports panel in stitches after pointing out the graphic of his starting line-up was “wrong” ahead of Everton’s 2-1 win over Doncaster in the the Carabao Cup.The former Burnley boss, 52, has not had the ideal start to the season with his side losing their opening three Premier League games without scoring a goal.
    Sean Dyche joined the Sky Sports panel ahead of Doncaster vs Everton
    Dyche felt this Sky Sports graphic of his team was ‘wrong’
    And he was evidently not in the mood for mistakes when he joined Sky Sports presenter Mark Chapman for a chat ahead of the Doncaster game on Wednesday evening.
    As Dyche’s XI came up on the screen – which depicted a 4-4-2 – Chapman said: “When we put Grant’s up [Doncaster manager Grant McCann], it was in the wrong formation.
    “So hopefully we’ve got this in the right formation.”
    He then asked about new signing Beto – who was on the bench – before Dyche said: “I’d like to [give him 20, 25 minutes].

    “We only [just] got clearance of his visa, that’s what we were waiting on. We’d set the team up, worked on it.”
    He then hilariously added: “That’s wrong by the way, but anyway.”
    The comment left Chapman and the pundits – which included ex-Sheffield Wednesday boss Darren Moore – in stitches, with Chappers suggesting the line-up was “tactically fluid”, much to Dyche’s amusement.
    The mistake would appear to have been that Dyche played a 4-1-3-2 with Amadou Onana sitting behind Abdoulaye Doucoure on the left, Lewis Dobbin on the right and James Garner through the middle.

    But Dyche was certainly not laughing once the game kicked off as his Everton team went into half-time 1-0 down against their fourth-tier opponents – who sit bottom of League Two.
    Joe Ironside gave the hosts the lead just before the break at the Eco-Power Stadium.
    But Everton new boy Beto came off the bench to equalise in the 73rd minute.
    And another new signing, Arnaut Danjuma, on loan from Villarreal, turned things around with less than two minutes of normal time remaining as Everton edged their way into the third round. More

    Jarrod Bowen reads out secret note from Moyes live on Sky Sports after scoring vs Brighton.. but is all as it seems?

    JARROD BOWEN starred for West Ham’s 3-1 victory over Brighton last night, scoring West Ham’s second just before the hour mark.And it was just before his goal that Sky Sports cameras picked Bowen up reading a note that manager David Moyes had given to him containing tactical instructions.

    And read out a play by play description of his goalCredit: Sky Sports
    After the game, he joined the Sky Sports punditry team to talk about the game… and the contents of the note.
    Sky Sports presenter Dave Jones said to Bowen: “There’s a bit of intrigue around this evening Jarrod because less than three minutes before you scored that goal there was a little note handed to you by the manager… we’re presuming it wasn’t a shopping list?”
    Bowen responded: “I know, I was trying to read it, I was trying to read it and still stay in my position… And then Micky [Michail Antonio] passed me the ball and I was looking at the note!
    “And Micky just glared at me and I thought, ‘Oh no.'”

    Sky pundit Jamie Redknapp then said: “I was just on the pitch Jarrod and I’ve managed to find it. People want that insight, ‘What does the manager actually say to players at the right time?’ Just read it out to us.”
    Bowen then read the note aloud and said: “Jarrod, on the counter, run the full length of the pitch and we will knock it to you and take a touch and score. Slash gaffer, kiss.”
    The punditry team broke out into laughter as it became clear that Redknapp might have written the note himself, as it provided a word-for-word description of Bowen’s goal.
    West Ham fans responded to the clip on Twitter, with one saying: “It said two things: West Ham are massive everywhere they go and champions of Europe.”

    Another wrote: “That was pretty funny by Redknapp to be fair.”
    A third joked: “How’s nobody talking about David Moyes’ vision of that goal, knew there was constantly an opening on the right for Jarrod and knew he could exploit it. My manager.”
    The 3-1 result was something of a Moyes masterclass, with West Ham going 3-0 up against Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton side after 62 minutes.
    Brighton only struck a consolation goal in the 81st minute through Pascal Gross.
    Despite the comprehensive victory for the Hammers, they only had 22 per cent of the possession and the result was testament to Moyes’ counter-attacking style.
