Thomas Hitzlsperger comes out....

Leroy Ambrose

Agreed. A bit too similar to Ballack, who got all the attention, but a very good player.

Yes, it was a good interview, and one of those occasions where the former player can ask questions that someone who has only been a journalist can't

Not sure about the pathetic beard Lineker was sporting though!
