He was poor and achieved nothing in his career yet had the nerve to criticise the likes of Terry a few years ago who played his entire career at the top level.. 😂 🤣
As a shit player sometimes u just gotta bottle your gob! Ain’t achieved nothing apart from appearances what a career ayy 😅 him and bramble are frauds! How they got a pro contract is honestly beyond me
I agree with James Fletcher was better at retaining the ball and passing and at international football that's more important than at club level. A class pro as well unlike Robbie. I'm completely on Leighton James' side here.
Savage was definitely good enough for that squad. He would be picked for the current squad also if he was still playing. It's easy to forget that Savage was a really good player in his time. The amount of players Toshack fell out with really screwed up the national team.
@@andrewjoyce9038 Remember when you sad English wanks claimed your golden generation around 20 years ago and still won fk all? Remember that Saes? Funny how I always notice your bitcharse name on things about Welsh footy. Do you hate England that much that you obsess with a foreign national team instead you sad little man?
Didn't he admit lately that he purposely acted up in training for Birmingham to get a move away to Blackburn????? Yeah nothing wrong with his attitude.
How strange that Leighton James said Sav would not even be good enough to be a pundit?...He also said Why you going to play when your 36....Leighton James played for Derby County too ....and he was a guy who often throw his toys out of the pram....He is so wrong about savage ....read his book
As a player John Toshack was excellent alongside Keegan for Liverpool, but as a man, he just can't be trusted. He should get the Jackanory job, he's made for it 👍
Leighton James loses this in my opinion, he's clearly got an agenda against Robbie. I can't stand him but it's harsh to dig him out with not really a real explanation..
Absolutely, the tone of voice gives it away - besides LJ got where as a pundit? and Where is Robbie Savage now? History places egg very extensively on Leighton James face.
RIP to Leighton James. He was my coach at Port Talbot FC back in 2004ish and he was a nasty person. Not personable, no advice, nothing. Just there for the money. Sad but true.
I am as passionate to be Welsh as the next man and 9 times out of 10 I will stick up for a fellow countryman .. however, Leighton James here is a disgrace
Yea? Well i saw him, just before eating a cheese & ham sandwich, take the ham straight out of that cheese & ham sandwich, with his bare hands, and launch that piece of ham point blank in the face of a female jogger running past him! Absolute savage
In his prime, Leighton James was the best winger in Europe. If he'd been English he'd have walked into the England team. But he does come over as a bit dogmatic.
😆 yes,cos most of Europe’s top players spend most of their time playing outside of the top divisions don’t they. All you’ve done here is copy and pasted something Toshack once said. Utter biased nonsense.
Never lost against Villa in 6 games when he played for Blues. Shame really because he spoilt it all when he left Blues on bad terms. He'd still be really well thought of otherwise.
I predict that out of the fifa top 20, only 1 or 2 will last the next 5 years. It's easy to predict managers won't last. Who was the last Wales manager to last more than 5 years?
Just read your utter bullshit today on the day of Leighton James death..what an absolute kunt you are and what a fucking heap of rubbish you spoke. That Kunt Savage couldn't hold a light to James. Give your head a fucking wobble
Savage was a solid player for his era the problem was their were a lot of other top level players around him and that came up with him at youth level. He also knew hwo to get stuck in which some players hated.
Savage is always sour that he never qualified with us, and now in Euro 2016 we have a good chance he is bringing things up again and he never cared about us, he only cared about wales when he was playing not otherwise
I once saw Robbie buy 3 hair straighteners ,4 hair gel products 2 hair dryers 8 Shampoo and 19 conditioner products at NICKY CLARKES on Piccadilly And watched as his mum carried it all out to his BMW as his grandma was swearing at security because there was no discount That is true
@@Steaks652 for a crap pundit yeah. The good ones can offer balanced opinions. It doesn't always have to be negative. Shock jokey, nothing more and nothing less
@@Steaks652 going by your own logic, that would make your opinion irrelevant also. Hitler was in charge of Germany for several years, does that mean he was also good at his job?
@@iainmackenzie8372 , hah, not the point Iain lad, Savage is laughing his nuts off earning good wedge, while you have to work yours off for peanuts until you're 75 years old. Glad to see you brought Adolf into it though keep taking your medication butt!!!!!
Leighton James as a player would piss all over Savage. Such a talented winger. But he is completely clueless as a pundit. His managerial 'career' shows how much he knows about the game.
Robbie & Leighton are both Legends !! but of a differant era, they both played football at the highest level for both club or country and are very passionate welshmen, proud about everything welsh. i have nothing but total respect for both robbie & leighton, even the best have disagreements, lol well done both for yor contribution to football, thank you very much, cheers !!
how arrogan does Savage come across??? He doesn't understand why people hate him...... hes not Zlatan Ibraimovic he has no right saying hes better than the players that were picked at the time, how awkward would that make the dressing room???
Savage was and is a big headed dunce. Everything he said about not being a pundit he went back on, and everything James said about being a pundit was right lol
Leighton James comes across as a nasty bully. He clearly has an agenda and that was the reason Savage wasnt picked.
Or to flip that the presenter had an agenda against James who was supposed to be neutral.
Definitely. James was/is good friends with Toshack
I saw James and toshack together at home bargains Merthyr Tydfil
" I wouldn't want to slaughter my ex team mates ex players to make a few quid" I have heard it all now
Hmm...He was true to his word, he didn't become a Pundit
Errrrrmmmm he is lol

7:48, Leighton sounds as if he's about to burst out crying! 'Carry on guys!!!!'
Go ed!!
He was right and savage became a pundit after saying he never wanted to be 😂
Now a pundit...
I like Robbie savage. Always honest and respectful of his fellow professionals. Good sense of humour as well. Doesn't take himself too seriously.
7:20-7:40 had me in tears. When he said “I’d pick Robbie” 😂
I have lost all respect for Leighton James.
Savage might have made more money, but he couldn't lace Leighton James boots.
Savage was right and honest, he was not the most gifted or talented.... but he gave 100%
He was poor and achieved nothing in his career yet had the nerve to criticise the likes of Terry a few years ago who played his entire career at the top level.. 😂 🤣

The thing with Robbie is I saw him buying seven pairs of trainers 👟
I love this..people who care about the game and saying what they think...it's like a throwback to the 1970s
"I wouldn't want to be a pundit"
Savage said Toshack would not be the Wales manager in 5 years time... Spot on!
How many managers are though, very very few

yea toshack always came across as an asshole and savage was an underrated player imo
I once saw Robbie Savage throw a baguette into a river whilst a homeless man was watching.
Course ya did 😅
He also threw 7 pairs of trainers in the river as well
I saw him throw his wig in the river as well then rob a homeless man of his big issues
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Toshack was a relic from the 70's when managing Wales. He was a really good manager but he lived in the past.
He blooded the golden generation
Bwaahaa 'golden generation '

I saw Robbie Savage buy seven pairs of trainers and tell a boy to carry them out to his car.
Well I would too have you tried to carry 7 pairs yourself?
You're a liar!
I once saw Robbie Savage eat 30 chicken wings in one sitting and wipe his hands on the table cloth when he thought no one was looking...
you maybe not be a liar but it's untrue.
Shoe story is true when he was at Leicester everyone was there.
Didn't he admit lately that he purposely acted up in training for Birmingham to get a move away to Blackburn????? Yeah nothing wrong with his attitude.

you know nothing about football if you think Robbie savage was any good,he ran around like a constipated headless chicken.
He doesn't he's responding to the question Robbie asks him at first.
Who’s listening to this after he was on EJFOF then?
He reminds me of Butthead, you know the old Beavis and Butthead on MTV some years back.
Hehe cool
RIP to Leighton James.
He was my coach at Port Talbot FC back in 2004ish and he was a nasty person. Not personable, no advice, nothing. Just there for the money. Sad but true.
rip Leighton James
Leighton used to give me a fiver if I showed him my micky behind the wall at the back of the training ground and a tenner if I sucked his.
Lovely tribute mate.
He certainly sounds bitter
That was beautiful 🥲
Leighton needs to get himself together. he has enough facts to out-talk Savage and he throw's a fit when he doesn't like what he's hearing
I am as passionate to be Welsh as the next man and 9 times out of 10 I will stick up for a fellow countryman .. however, Leighton James here is a disgrace
How? If anyone is it's Robbie. He's the one who retired from Wales.
Robbie Savage was a better player than he gets credit for.
James, one of the best players ever to have graced a British Football Field, and is 100% correct on this Savage matter...............
Which player went on to have a better career? Savage or fletcher?
Savage was a better player than Fletcher. No comparison
Time has told, Savage has done very well for himself as a decent pundit.
Stool retention is a problem.
bring on part 2!
Robbie was completely in the right.
About what?
@@r4h4al about nothing
Robbie was the best we had holding the Fort in the middle of the park. Obviously not the best technical player. But what he did no one did better
Didn’t Savage refuse to play and admit to being a disgrace to force move to Blackburn?
I once saw Robbie Savage eat a Sandwich and throw the crust away.
Yea? Well i saw him, just before eating a cheese & ham sandwich, take the ham straight out of that cheese & ham sandwich, with his bare hands, and launch that piece of ham point blank in the face of a female jogger running past him! Absolute savage
Robbie savage always gives 100 %. James is a horrible man.
He wasn't good enough to play under Toshack. :)
And now he isn't good enough to play under Flynne. :)
And now savage is a pundit and a Co commentator and host 😂😂
Leighton James was a class player
Vantheman12 Welshman never heard of him , only in Wales maybe ?
Nah, bang average at best.
Leighton James would have had 12 pints before this interview. A drunk. A nasty drunk. Savage achieved so much more in the game.
Didn’t Robbie go on to be a pundit?
Not a good one.
It’s like a scene from fireman Sam and Ivor the engine !! 😂😂
I bet Norman price had something to do with all this ??🙄😵😂
Accuses Savage of throwing his toys out, then does it himself.
robbie is brilliant!!

Only clicked this as i thought: Robbie had a famous argument with Leighton Baynes?
He was a legend at my club Birmingham City,but lost my respect when he went to Blackburn making his family as an excuse.
dont think he gives one
Never lost against Villa in 6 games when he played for Blues. Shame really because he spoilt it all when he left Blues on bad terms. He'd still be really well thought of otherwise.
I love when Savage says "whaaa" dead high pitch over Toshack not having a phone.
I predict that out of the fifa top 20, only 1 or 2 will last the next 5 years. It's easy to predict managers won't last. Who was the last Wales manager to last more than 5 years?
Leighton James comes across as a twonk.
Get Dion Dublin to drop him
..wih what? 😏
Leighton James is the most over rated welsh player in the last 40 years. Not in the same class as Robbie. He’s a true proud Welshman
Who rated Leihton James??
Robbie Savage is pony, in everything he does.
HA HA James wasa far better player that savage Your having a laugh

14 years ago, seems like so long ago. Today I attended Leightons funeral. RIP mate.
What language is this ?
Why is Robbie so upset just because someone thinks other players are better than him?
Say what you want about him, and he has his haters.. but Savage was pretty much spot on about everything here!
This has popped up again after Leighton James' recent passing
Who's Leighton James ?????
Wikipedia is your friend.
Attitude, start with... I'm never wrong James..
Gotta love robbie savage
Do you? :/
Not me his a prat
haha he became a pundit and a terrible one at that as well as a terrible player
wasn't world class but he's a better footballer than you ever could be cfcsteve86
savage is a great pundit he might not have been a great player but he's got more personality than the likes of sutton, gerrard, henry etc combined.
Leighton James makes me ashamed to be Welsh.

And watched as his mum carried it all out to his BMW as his grandma was swearing at security because there was no discount
That is true
Robbie ME ME ME Savage
I remember Leighton at Sunderland and I thought he was quality, unfortunately the rest of Roker Park didn't agree with me.
Well Toshack lasted 1 more year as Wales manger than Robbie predicted and Robbie became a pundit 😂
Savage became a pundit and was disruptive at Birmingham.
This same mug has been pulling Shelvey to bits too! Although, agree with the Savage criticism!
Leighton James was overrated as a player and sounds like some sort of obnoxious bully on here.
so was savage
Leighton James was a proper footballer - Robbie was nothing more than a primitive bully.
What? Savage could never bully anyone 😂😂😂 I think you need to study definitions. PEST and BULLY are very different.
Savage came through the United academy with Beckham, Giggs, Scholes ect. He was a decent player
Ask his former teams what they think of him…didn’t he go on strike to force a move away from Derby to Birmingham? 😂
Once a claret always a claret well said Leighton James
Hilarious how time changes things. All savage does is criticise now
