- Robbie Savage admits his behaviour was a 'disgrace' when trying to force through a move to Blackburn Rovers from Birmingham City in 2005.
- Sport
Fair play for honesty Savage, not a lot of people (especially footballers) would come on national television and admit their action were a disgrace.
It's his business and he's carved a little niche talking like this. Completely cynical.
He didn't admit his actions were a disgrace.
Rio was getting vexed and it wasn't even his team 😂😂
😭😭😭
Rio was a drug cheat. Missed the random drug tests and was banned. Disgraced. And also moved from Leeds for for money so he can't talk.
@@benzbenzy1485 he moved for medals...
Look how disgusted Rio looks. That is the difference between being a champion and being a journeyman.
No its the difference between being a knobhead and being a proper knobhead
Stan Ogdons stuntman he is a winner though like it or not
Rio was a drug cheat. Missed the random drug tests and was banned. Disgraced. And also moved from Leeds for for money so he can't talk.
@@liamdunphy7496 I remember the question ..is Rio Ferdinand the best central defender in the premier League?..truth is he wasn't even the best central defender in his family..Anton is God..lol
Benz Benzy Rio was a champion who had a champion mentality and helped Man U win countless trophies put some respect on his name
I don't particularly like Savage but at least he was honest about the money side if it.
Agreed
Pity he wasn't honest about it at the time.
@@kevinlongman007Rio Ferdinand is stupid too
He lied and said he needed to be nearer a parent who was sick. They pulled out a map and showed Blackburn was further from where his parents lived than his Midlands home.
Points for honesty for behaving very badly? Nah.
Hats off to Savage for his honesty.Not enough of this,in this day and age.
Savage is slowly turning into Rod Stewart
Robert King or Donald Sutherland.
Robert King Lol. I love that statement
Robert King In appearance only as Rod Stewart has talent.
Robert King ii
Robbie Savage starting to look like Barry Gibb
These comments are exactly why Rio was a winner and Savage won naff all.
Savage never dodged a drug test though!
I wish I could do Naff All and be on £35,000 a week
Amen
Won the league cup with Leicester City.
2 league cups, not a bad return
Being a Birmingham City fan I thought the move was a disgrace. It wasn't that he actually went, it was the way he did it. Loved Robbie playing for the Blues but it does tarnish your reputation to treat the club like that.
Savage going on about kicking ball out in training and Sicknote Hargreaves thinking whats this training malarkey youre going on about.
Loganwolfen 😂 Hargreaves is a clown
lol
Hargreaves was twice the player
Liam Dunphy???? Really?? Roger Hargreaves who wrote Mr Men books was better than Owen
@@liamdunphy7496
But played half the games. Being generous
Pissed me off at the time but it's only football. Met him twice and he was very humble and a thoroughly nice bloke.
Savage is a great story teller very funny and very honest
20k to 35k was a huge difference for my family, its why he bought a Ferrari LOL
David Brent this guy knows he not on football review shows for football related achievements but rather his unsophisticated insights.
He's better suited to Arsenal Fan TV.
Bill Ding are u dumb
Harrison Baker stop sitting outside my house and siphoning my broadband. Pay for your own data, scrounger!
Bill Ding guess so
Still a huge payrise. Who in their right mind wouldn't take it? Never enough honesty from footballers in my opinion.
I like his honesty. No one else has admitted ityet we know there are plenty who do.
Genuinely don't understand haters of savages punditry. He may not be the most articulate but he is always so flipping honest it's great. Others are more intelligent but few are more entertaining.
I don't particularly like him as a pundit. But people take it way too far.
Steff Probert this guy is very uneducated he went to school in a barn playing football by himself while his parents got charged for keeping him from going to get any sort of education
WeeScottishBruiser what, sorry mate don't understand u, please rephrase what u said *no offence*
I understand the haters they're jealous reprobates he's a decent bloke who likes a laugh and got to a level most of us would be extremely proud of. Good post Steff!!
Savage's memory is going, he didn't chest it down and left foot past Van Der Sar. He controlled it badly which lifted the ball up and he swung a left foot at it, good finish but he's making out like he's Bergkamp.
koncsaj savage always talks as if he was better than he was
@@RyAn-sj7ck eh? He has stated many times he wasn’t great but let’s be honest he was a regular in the premier league during some amazing seasons.
@@GoYourOwnWay86 he called himself world class in one interview
That's not a bad memory that's embellishment. :-)
@Alfie Pimm yes, still not believing him though
'Was'?????
*am
Always will be.
hahahah brilliant

The funny thing was that the Birmingham manager at the time Steve Bruce, wasn't exactly known for his loyal during his managerial career, leaving Sheffield United for Huddersfield, Wigan for Crystal Palace (after just a couple of months there) and then Crystal Palace for Birmingham (just 3 months into the season). Birmingham was the first club that he stayed at for a long period of time. So he no right whatsoever to criticise Savage for a lack of loyality or for being a mercenary.
And also he's managed both Sheffield clubs, both Newcastle and Sunderland and both Blues and Villa. The man has no loyalty whatsoever
@@andyw8025 Don't forget West Brom who also despise Villa.
Imagine if Roy Keane was in his team??? Even Rio aid he’d chin him which is fair enough!!!
Keane tried to get him to Sunderland, Rang him up, Savage answered the phone saying “wassssup”, Keane hung up straight away, said he can’t be having that. Its in his book
@@Rossa4444 voicemail*
Keane would have chin him if he was in studio. Lol
Rio: attitude of a winner.
Savage: attitude of a brat.
Such a winner he missed his drugs test and didn't play for England in the euros.
@@MichaelCook84 That should not define his career
@@rohithraman6488 No, but it defines his attitude.
@@MichaelCook84 Not really. Exactly what did he do to directly affect England? Compared to savage who disrupted training and had attitude in the changing rooms to force a move out of the club is just disgusting. Even he agreed what he did was disgusting.
Big up for a bit of honesty robbie
Unjustified arrogance. Insufferable
He's a former premiere league footballer..
@@don1827 so is ali dia
@@georgedolman444 but Savage actually had career in it.
@@MrGts92 not according to John Terry
@@jonathanward7320 quick response (!)
As a Stoke fan it’s no surprise that Savage is once again confessing his love for Hughes. Hughes was the main factor in our relegation this season, listening to Savage every week defend Hughes and absolve him of any blame for the awful job he’s done has been infuriating.
I tried to hate him but I couldn't. Met him once, genuinely nice bloke and he played brilliantly for us. KRO.
Birmingham fans hearing this must be so angry.
Not really mate. It is what it is
Loved Savage at the Blues, remember being gutted he left but on reflection, if they want to go, just let them go. KRO 💙
I'm a Blackburn fan, and he was one of our best players for a couple of years.
No he wasn't - super Robbie Average
He was really good, blud.
Precisely Shanks; in what world do we live in which RS can keep Tugay out of the side, any side
Tugay was a beast
@@irieite9666 absolutely should of playing at a higher level he was asking good passing and shooting as anyone in his prime.
Was & still is a disgrace........
The irony is he still says on his radio show he’s a legend at Birmingham City, yet all the Blues fans I know can’t stand him for the way he disrespect their club.
Legend? WTF! He is conveniently forgetting the intensely hostile reception we gave him on his return to St Andrews. Delusional muppet!
Absolutely
What a disgrace
I can believe we where only paying him £35,000 ......The Man is a Blackburn Legend 😍😍😍
That's one packed room
If memory serves me right, Birmingham matched the Blackburn offer on his wages. Never get the full story from him. Glad he went.
This shows the difference between Rio who's won pretty much everything and Robbie who's won a league cup
omar schrouder not really. savage wanted to force through a move. Rio moved to Leeds and Man Utd. Savage was never at the level to play for a top club
he said he would of never been a 100k player he knew what he was and what he wanted
Sorry to ask this question but can somebody tell me the colour of Robbie savage’s Blazer ?? Please
Anyone who thinks they're a character is not he's just a complete tool and completely deluded
It all started because christoph had better more natural hair.
Dugarery 💯💯💯
Exact same thing happened to me when I was playing Centre-Forward for Hillend Bell Hoppers. I had been approached (in the car-park) by three men who said they represented Crosskeys Ivy Transfers who made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. At CIT they had their own changing rooms, and also we were aloud to take the owners dog for walks, but we didn’t have to wash his car on a Sunday. Anyway, so that HBH would let me out of our Gentlemens Agreement, I tended to kick the ball over the housing estate during matches, so much so, that each game had to be abandoned for lack of any balls. Two years later we reached the ESFA (9th tier) cup final where Crosskeys were to face Hillend. Two minutes in, and their centre-forward kicked the ball over the fence and it landed in the Firth… the game was abandoned and the trophy handed to Hillsend as they had lost fewer balls. Next season, their centre-forward was given my position in the Crosskeys team and I never played again.
Cheers, that made me laugh.
Please can I have your autograph?
Why did that make me laugh so much
lmao Bravo KebabMusicLtd
Just another reason to hate Savage ! Some of his antics on the pitch were disgraceful .
He had everyone at "I was a disgrace"
Why does BT let Savage on the telly? Why?
I probably would have done the same. He gets to play for his hero and almost doubles his current wages while playing closer to his family back home. It's a no brainer and the way he went about it got him that move.
If he had said that this was why he was moving at the time it would have been better. He was reaching the end of his career so the more money he could salt away the better.
Savage
Love honest videos like these... He said he knew he was an average footballer, he was simply maximising his income... disregarding the $$ amount, we as "normal" people do it as well!! Who hasn't moved from one job to another simply for one sole reason.. pay?
Hate when people say 20k is alot already blah blah blah.... NO IT'S NOT!! Footballers have a very short career, some play till 35 but some get injured at 22 and never play again... I actually see no problem whatsoever what they earn... even Ronaldo/Messi money... they deserve every penny!
Footballers actually average the longest career in professional sports along with basketball so where’s all this nonsense that they have a short career ? 😂
@@londerg1307 Short careers compared to normal people... normal people start from 18-25 and work till 65-70... that's 3 times longer than a football career.
@@den_525 Man nobody mentioned a normal persons career 🤦♂️ stop back tracking 😂 this is about professional sports not normal jobs
@@londerg1307 It's my original post lol 🤦♂️ i clearly said normal person. no need to back track my own words.
He sounds an absolute weapon!!
He may have been player of the year but the foyer at Blues has Dugarry’s giant image, not his. The man has no honour, from hero to zero inna fortnight. KRO
Is it possible to like someone and dislike them at the same time? That's how I feel about Robbie Savage
talking about his "friends" is all in his head
Why am i even here... Robbie Savage FFS!
Robbie loved the reception he got at Turf Moor when he came with Barstewards.
As a bham fan I liked savage. All action 100% all the time and entertaining with his antics. Shame he let himself/ us down but football is football and that's how it is sometimes . There doing a job where as it's our hobby.
Was so happy when Dion Dublin headbutted him 😂
How does savage still get a gig as a pundit like seriously....
best player of a generation
As a Birmingham fan at the time I wasn't that bothered. Karren Brady worked out Blackburn was further than Birmingham so not nearer home so that's him peddling the same rubbish. When I lost all respect for him was when he admitted years later on the radio to Mark Chapman he deliberately didn't try v Newcastle
This video illustrates why Savage was so keen on his hero keeping his job at Stoke City today on five live it’s a joke talk about jobs for the boys
Excellent quif
Love a man with integrity 😂
Being honest coming clean about his mistakes shows humility so yeah he DOES have integrity restored.
Savage is a big head but grounded, i like this guy
It happens in football. Up here in Newcastle, when Craig Bellamy fell out with Souness, he feigned injury and refused to play. He got loaned to Celtic for rest of that season then sold that summer
It's like a stallion looking in disappointment at Donkey from Shrek...
He's got a decent hair style.
Also his facial hair.
Hmmm...🤔
When isn't he?
"The only player I would consistently choose on my team over Dennis Irwin. A true badass. A true savage. THE Robbie Savage. He always did his job. I love him. " - Roy Keane
I was gutted when he left Blues . No transfer has ever affected me more :(
Say no more......
@@ianmckenzie2680 meaning ?
:)
@@MrObiwan1 he was and will always be unprofessional on and off the field vile bloke.
What a gourmet
Top performer v Good performer.
Savage fails to see how it is not just his performance affected by these sorts of things, but his teammate's.
Everything wrong with modern footballers
I'd have let him rot in the reserves or sent him out on loan to another club. There should be clauses in players contracts that if they refuse to train they get docked their wages.
Absolutely
He didn’t refuse to train just didn’t put any effort in
Didn’t rio do the exact thing to West Ham and Leeds
No.
Yes
@@nikobellic2086 sabotaged training sessions? No.
They're not talking about leaving a club but the fashion in which he forced the move
Robbie Savage was a world class footballer fact !!! 😁
My arse he was
“I was a disgrace” but I got what I wanted acting like a total fud so it’s all grand. Knob of a human
He's lucky Roy Keane isn't in the studio.
shows u how much of a muppet he is
Why is Jeff Bridges on this show?
That’s an insult to Jeff
Sav needs one of them Rod Stewart hsirdoos as this one is a shocker
Was going to say hes getting like rodney. But then I seen your name. So I totally agree well said
Him and David Dunn were immense in the middle
J.L.T BRICKLAYING CONTRACTORS
Immense 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
he seems nice guy
i took the likes to 1k! that was fun :)
robbie savage is his own man, as much as he can be, anyway, its awesome
What does Robbie think of Johnny Sexton he’s a great player
love Robbie say's what he thinks that's Why people can't handle it I left my job because of two faced people it was toxic
Was...Still is...!
Oh dear Robbie Savage thinks behaving this way is funny. I love Rio basically saying he’d fill him in if he was in a team with him. Utterly classless, childish, entitled selfish behaviour that he hasn’t got the good sense to NOT BRING UP.. total lack of insight
The guy is an embarrassment to the game, how he can go on radio or tv "pretend" to be a pundit AND get paid is a sad reflection on the "clowns" who run, BBC, BT and wherever else he "wings" a living.....
shut it
Well Said
John Terry called him out.
Savage was a very good player. He wasn't perfect but he always did what was expected.
Benni McCarthy used to take the piss out of his football ability lol
I like Savage. He is honest.
We liked him at LEICESTER well I did lol.
That's Savage! Even by savage standards!
He thinks people care when he talks. We don't.
Love savage, he’s in that unique group of players that earned more money in a week than I do in a year without the talent to justify him being there. Savage used other tools like his hate me status to succeed, people get wound up by him still today he loves it he has a tv show still earning big money, keep hating, he’s playing u all ur just all so uptight to see it
Well he was rather good for us (blues) tbh, he was a good set-piece taker, good tackler, great engine on him and very much an influential leader in our team where he could do a job in any team below the top 8 in the era he left us.
He's still a disgrace as a pundit.
I am a Birmingham city fan truthful but a disgrace too.and he played his best at Birmingham city too.
£35 a week he was that bad I wouldn't even pay him that,,
What a joke of a so called pro
I would be happy with just the NI contributions on the 15K difference between 35K and 20K a week. I wouldn't be happy playing for Mark Hughes though. How does he get Premiership jobs??
Savage took the piss he said he wants to move to Blackburn to be closer to his family in South Wales??
Damn Right
Robbie looks stylist.
your a good pundit sir enjoy ur comments...............
Was Savage ever the best footballer on a football pitch.
The guy that told rangers he’l play for nothing when they got liquidated and sent to the bottom of Scottish senior football and they still knocked him back haha, Donkey
Also says he had good friends. Struggling to think of one ex-team mate who has been interviewed who says they like/d him or stay in touch
i always disliked Savage but hes got balls saying this. His family came first
Savage went to a bigger club. Pure and simple
Andrew Joyce TW@T
And now they are in the same division as Birmingham.
