Ian Rush

i dont think he is one in the media ... cos he is a coach at the club.

Fair enough, he definitely does work in the media but I forgot he was still coaching...

Is Ritchie Partridge an ex yet? - he used to have his own column (although if he's moved on then possibly not anymore).

eirebhoy

Partridge signed a new 1 year deal with Liverpool AFAIK. He was injured all season.

I have long been struck by just how many ex Pool players are in the media- they're even in Spain!*

*name that minor player

Mike.

Michael Robinson is a star on Spanish TV.

I've seen Ian Rush doing analysis on BBC Wales.
Dean Saunders the same.

Razor Ruddock is always on telly, but little to do with football analysis!

Peter Beardsley appears the odd time on Sky. I think John Scales is on telly occassionally too.

David Speedie is involved in the media, not sure what.

I think Phil Neal does radio commentaries across the water.

I think thats 27 (excluding Robinson, though there might be one or two wrong'uns. I've never seen or heard Mark Wright in the media, though wouldnt be surprised if he is).
