Jeff Stelling has picked former Soccer Saturday star Rodney Marsh as the \u201cmost difficult colleague\u201d he worked with.<\/p>\n

Stelling, 68, left Sky Sports in May after a 25-year stint as the face of Soccer Saturday – one of the most beloved football shows on British television. During his time there, the veteran presenter worked with a number of high profile pundits and football legends.<\/p>\n

But there was one colleague he ranked above all else as the hardest work in a new interview with talkSPORT – former Queens Park Rangers and Manchester City striker Rodney Marsh – who appeared on Soccer Saturday for 11 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe worst colleague I\u2019ve ever worked on screen with? Rodney Marsh,\u201d Stelling said while chuckling.<\/p>\n

\u201cEx of talkSPORT as well of course. But, you know, Rodney was a difficult so and so. And that was just what we wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marsh, who had been a popular mainstay on the Soccer Saturday panel, was sacked by Sky Sports in January 2005 after making a joke about the devastating tsunamis that struck Thailand a month earlier.<\/p>\n

Prime Video is available as part of the Amazon Prime membership, which costs \u00a38.99 per month or \u00a395 annually for an individual.<\/p>\n

The membership gives access to all the perks of Amazon Prime (including free Premium and Same- Day Delivery in selected residential postcodes, and other benefits) plus the full library of content available through Prime Video. <\/p>\n

Prime also offers a discounted membership, Prime Student for higher education students.<\/p>\n

You can also sign-up for Prime Video on its own for \u00a35.99 per month, however, you won\u2019t get the other benefits that come with Prime \u2014 like free One-Day Delivery and Same-Day Delivery on eligible orders and fast grocery delivery and pickup.<\/p>\n

\u00a35.99 per month for Prime Video only, or \u00a38.99 per month for Amazon Prime membership<\/p>\n

The now 79-year-old sparked outrage when he made a pun, replacing the word tsunami with \u2018Toon Army\u2019. "David Beckham has turned down a move to Newcastle United because of trouble with the 'Toon Army in Asia,\u2019\u201d he had said.<\/p>\n

Marsh apologised on air but it was not enough to save his job. His comments on \u2018You\u2019re On Sky Sports\u201d – a show where callers were given the chance to vent their frustrations on topical football issues – were described as "offensive and inexcusable" by the broadcaster.<\/p>\n

In a move later replicated by Stelling, Marsh then joined talkSPORT but left less than a year later. He followed it up with appearances on ITV's I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!<\/i> in 2007 and Celebrity Come Dine with Me<\/i> on Channel 4.<\/p>\n
