Ally McCoist couldn’t resist one of his trademark one-liners as he picked up his Pundit of the Year award in London on Monday night with a Roy Keane quip that brought the house down at the Westminster Park Plaza in London.
McCoist was one of the most popular winners at the British Sports Journalism Awards for his work with talkSPORT, ITV and BT Sport. The 60-year-old former Rangers and Scotland legend was up against fellow former players such as Record Sport columnist Chris Sutton, Alan Shearer, Ian Wright and Manchester United legend Keane.
The event took place just 24 hours after Keane’s former club suffered a 7-0 hammering at the hands of Liverpool at Anfield. And as McCoist took to the stage, he said: “I don’t think Roy’s had a worse 48 hours to be fair! McCoist had the audience roaring with laughter but said: “In all seriousness I genuinely did not expect to be standing winning this when I look at the competition - the competition was fierce.
