Garth Anthony Crooks, OBE (born 10 March 1958) is an English football pundit and former professional player. He played from 1976 to 1990, for Stoke City, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, West Bromwich Albion and Charlton Athletic.[1][3]

Key Information

Club career

[edit]

Crooks was born in Bucknall, Stoke-on-Trent, and is of Jamaican descent.[4] He progressed through the youth ranks at Stoke City signing professional contract forms in March 1976.[3] He made his debut in April at home to Coventry City becoming the first black player to play for Stoke since Roy Brown in the 1940s. In the 1976–77 season his first full season he was top-scorer albeit with just six goals as Stoke's financial problems saw them relegated to the Second Division.[3] Many black players at the time suffered racist abuse from the stands. Crooks was no exception, but his "cocky arrogance" meant it did little to affect him.[3] His pace caused problems for Second Division defences as he again top-scored with 19 in 1977–78 as Stoke failed to mount a serious promotion attempt. Manager Alan Durban decided to play Crooks as a winger at the start of the 1978–79 season, a decision which Crooks openly criticised.[3] He was restored to his striker role with the season coming to an end which saw Stoke gain promotion by beating Notts County on the final day of the season.[3] He scored 14 goals in 1979–80 as Stoke safely avoided relegation but tensions between Crooks and Durban resurfaced which led to Crooks handing in a transfer request.[3]

In 1979, he played in a benefit match for West Bromwich Albion player Len Cantello, that saw a team of white players play against a team of black players.[5]

He was transferred to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 1980 for a fee of £650,000. He scored on his debut against Nottingham Forest, and formed a successful striking partnership with Steve Archibald. With Crooks leading the line, Spurs won the FA Cup in 1981 and 1982, and the 1984 UEFA Cup final against Anderlecht. Crooks is frequently credited as the first black player to score in an FA Cup final for his equalising goal in a 3–2 win over Manchester City in 1981,[6] though this was pre-dated by Bill Perry in 1953 and Mike Trebilcock in 1966.[citation needed] He later went on loan to Manchester United and had spells at West Bromwich Albion and Charlton Athletic before a knee injury forced his retirement in 1990. Charlton were relegated from the First Division, just as the West Bromwich Albion side he had played in four seasons earlier had been.[7]

International career

[edit]

Crooks represented England at international level, making four appearances for the England under-21s, for whom he scored three goals.

Media career

[edit]

Crooks first worked in the media as a guest presenter on 25 March 1982's Top of the Pops on BBC1 (with Peter Powell), before working as a match analyst at the 1982 and 1990 World Cups. He later worked as a Match of the Day's reporter at the England camp at Euro 2000 and the 2002 World Cup.[7]

He appeared regularly as a pundit on Final Score from its first series in 2001 until 2022, and on rare occasions on Match of the Day as a replacement for regular pundits and interviewing players for Football Focus. In August 2024, he ended his Premier League team of the week column on the BBC News website due to creative differences.[8]

In 1988, Crooks became the first black chairman of the Professional Footballers' Association but gave up the role after retiring in 1990.[7] In the 1999 Birthday Honours, he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) "for services to the Institute of Professional Sport."[7][9]

Away from football, he hosted the BBC Two political late-night programme Despatch Box in the late 1990s/early 2000s. [10]

Garth Anthony Crooks, OBE (born 10 March 1958) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker and subsequently a television pundit specializing in analysis. Crooks began his playing career with Stoke City, where he scored 48 goals in 147 appearances before transferring to Hotspur in 1980. With Tottenham, he contributed to victories in the in 1981 and 1982, as well as the UEFA Cup in 1984; notably, he scored in the , becoming the first black player to achieve this in the competition's history. Later spells at Manchester United, West Bromwich Albion, and Charlton Athletic followed until his retirement in 1990 due to a . Off the pitch, Crooks served as the first black chairman of the from 1988 to 1990. Transitioning to media, Crooks joined the as a , providing commentary for programs such as and , and analyzing matches for Final Score. He gained particular recognition for his long-running "Team of the Week" column on the website, where he selected and critiqued standout performers after each matchday, a feature that concluded in August 2024. His ry has been characterized by forthright opinions, occasionally drawing criticism for selections perceived as overlooking key performers or assigning players to unfamiliar positions. Crooks received the OBE in 1999 for services to football.

Early life

Upbringing and entry into professional football

Garth Crooks was born on 10 March 1958 in , , , to parents of Jamaican descent. Raised in the Bucknall area amid a strong local football culture dominated by , he honed his skills through informal play, including kicking a ball against walls near his home in the vicinity. This environment fostered early self-reliance, as young aspirants in industrial navigated limited structured opportunities outside club-affiliated activities. Crooks advanced through Stoke City's without notable external trials, signing professional contract forms in March 1976 at age 18. He made his senior debut on 10 April 1976 in a First Division match against Coventry City, which Stoke lost 0–1, marking the by a player for the club since Roy Brown in the . Entering professional football as a teenager in 1970s presented empirical barriers, including pervasive from spectators and inadequate institutional safeguards, with players comprising fewer than 5% of league professionals amid widespread discriminatory practices. later acknowledged these failures in a 2001 apology to affected players, highlighting how such hostility often forced reliance on personal resilience over systemic support.

Football career

Club career at Stoke City and Tottenham Hotspur

Crooks turned professional with his hometown club Stoke City in 1976, initially playing as a forward in the Second Division after progressing through the youth ranks. Over four seasons, he established himself as a prolific scorer, netting 48 goals in 141 league appearances plus 6 as substitute, contributing to Stoke's promotion push efforts though the team faced relegation in 1980. In July 1980, Stoke sold Crooks to Hotspur for a club-record fee of £650,000 amid his transfer request following disputes with manager , marking one of the highest transfers for a Second Division player at the time. At , Crooks formed a potent striking partnership with , scoring on his debut against Nottingham Forest and totaling 75 goals in 182 appearances across all competitions during his five-year stint from 1980 to 1985. Crooks played a key role in Tottenham's successes under Keith Burkinshaw, starting in the victory over Manchester City (3-2) and contributing goals in the 1982 FA Cup campaign, including against Manchester United in the semi-finals. In the 1983-84 Cup, he scored 1 goal across Tottenham's run to the final against , though he was an unused substitute in the second leg of the 4-3 aggregate win secured via penalties. His physical presence and finishing helped Tottenham secure two FA Cups (1981, 1982) and the 1984 Cup, though form dips and a brief loan to Manchester United in 1983-84 (7 appearances, no goals) preceded his £80,000 transfer to West Bromwich Albion in August 1985.

International career with England

Crooks' international involvement with England was restricted to the under-21 team, where he made four appearances and scored three goals during the late 1970s. Despite strong club form, including 75 goals in 182 appearances for Tottenham Hotspur from 1980 to 1985, he received no senior caps. Under Bobby Robson, appointed England manager in 1982, forward selection prioritized players with proven goal-scoring output and tactical versatility amid preparations for World Cup qualifiers; competitors included Mark Hateley (who debuted and scored against Brazil on 10 June 1984), Peter Withe, and Kerry Dixon, who collectively earned dozens of caps between 1982 and 1985 based on their domestic tallies exceeding 15 goals per season. The absence of senior opportunities for Crooks reflects the era's intense merit-based competition rather than of systemic barriers, as squad lists from friendlies and qualifiers—such as the 1984 tour featuring Hateley and —show no inclusion of Crooks despite his 1983-84 UEFA Cup success. While racial prejudice affected black players like Crooks, who faced on-pitch abuse, selection records indicate decisions hinged on empirical factors like recent scoring rates and positional depth; Crooks' 10 First Division goals in 1984-85, solid but not exceptional amid league-leading strikers, aligned with his non-selection over narratives of exclusion lacking . Robson's choices emphasized causal links between club performance and international readiness, with 23 different forwards capped during his tenure by 1985.

Career statistics and honours

Crooks won the FA Cup with Tottenham Hotspur in 1981, where he scored the equalising goal in a 3–2 victory over Manchester City on 9 May 1981 at , and again in 1982. He was a squad member for Tottenham's triumph in 1984, defeating 4–3 on aggregate in the final on 23 and 24 May 1984, though he did not feature in the second leg. His Football League appearances and goals by club are as follows:

Crooks accumulated 324 appearances and 111 goals across all competitions in his senior club career. Crooks earned no senior international caps for despite strong club form.

Media career

Transition to broadcasting and initial roles

Crooks retired from professional football in 1990 at age 32, compelled by chronic knee and back injuries that had worsened during his tenure at Charlton Athletic. His 18-year playing career, spanning Stoke City, Tottenham Hotspur, West Bromwich Albion, and Charlton, had equipped him with direct tactical and physical insights into the game, which later distinguished his analytical approach by prioritizing observed realities over abstract coaching qualifications. During his final playing years, Crooks had already gained media visibility as the Professional Footballers' Association's first black chairman from 1988 to 1990, a role that involved public advocacy and negotiations, fostering skills in articulation and that eased his pivot to commentary. This position, overlapping with his retirement, amplified his profile among broadcasters seeking ex-players with authoritative perspectives derived from on-pitch experience. Post-retirement, Crooks entered full-time in 1990, initially focusing on radio and television announcing for soccer matches, where his striker's empirical knowledge of positioning, timing, and player decision-making under informed critiques grounded in lived rather than formal media or analytical . These early roles capitalized on his reputation as a goal-scorer with 194 goals across leagues, enabling authentic breakdowns of game dynamics without reliance on secondary data. By the early , he had established himself as a match analyst, drawing on firsthand recollections to evaluate performances in ways that theoretical pundits could not replicate.

BBC punditry and public commentary

Crooks entered broadcasting during his playing career, serving as a match analyst for the network's coverage of the 1982 and 1990 . He transitioned to a full-time role post-retirement, establishing a long-term presence on programs including Final Score, where his direct, unfiltered analysis became a hallmark. This tenure extended over decades, encompassing contributions to broadcasts in 1990, 1994, and 1998, during which he provided straightforward tactical breakdowns rooted in his professional experience. In recognition of his contributions to football and media, Crooks received an Officer of the (OBE) in the 1999 . His punditry style emphasized empirical observation of on-pitch realities, prioritizing player accountability and merit over abstract narratives; for instance, he repeatedly critiqued lapses in discipline, arguing that such failures undermined team performance and professional standards. Crooks advocated for traditional football values, such as collective team ethic and resilience, often contrasting these with individualistic excesses that he viewed as detrimental to the sport's integrity. Crooks actively supported anti-hooliganism measures, backing campaigns to eradicate fan violence and participating in international discussions on stadium safety and crowd behavior reforms. His commentary extended skepticism toward football's growing commercialization, highlighting how financial incentives could erode competitive purity and fan-centric traditions, informed by his firsthand navigation of the game's evolution from the onward. Proponents of his approach praise its passion as a form of unvarnished truth-telling, resisting the homogenization of modern punditry by delivering critiques grounded in causal links between player actions and match outcomes, rather than deferring to institutional consensus.

Team of the Week column and its discontinuation

Garth Crooks authored the website's weekly Team of the Week column, selecting an XI from matches and providing rationales centered on individual performances, effort, and tactical contributions rather than strict adherence to positional norms or statistical aggregates. The feature emphasized subjective assessments, frequently praising underperforming or lesser-known players for resilience or work rate while critiquing high-profile stars for perceived lapses, such as in one 2021 edition where he lauded Dele Alli's positioning despite broader criticisms of his form. This approach generated consistent debate, with selections often diverging from consensus expert views by prioritizing narrative-driven evaluations over conventional metrics like goals or assists. The column, a staple of BBC football coverage for many years, concluded prior to the 2024-25 Premier League season. On August 13, 2024, the BBC announced that former striker would assume the role, marking the end of Crooks' tenure. Deeney explicitly critiqued Crooks' , vowing to select players in their "correct positions" to address perceived inaccuracies in prior teams, such as midfielders deployed as forwards or vice versa. While the BBC did not detail an official rationale for the change, Deeney's comments highlighted a shift toward more orthodox formations, reflecting evolving editorial preferences for alignment with standard tactical analyses amid audience feedback on unconventional picks. The discontinuation followed no reported decline in engagement metrics, as the column had sustained high visibility through its polarizing nature.

Controversies and reception

Criticisms of punditry style and selections

Crooks' selections for his BBC Team of the Week column, which ran from 2013 until August 2024, drew frequent criticism for featuring unconventional formations and placing players in non-standard positions, such as overloading attack with multiple forwards while omitting midfielders. His replacement, Troy Deeney, explicitly noted that Crooks "picked players in incorrect positions," promising a more tactical approach in future columns. Examples include selections mocked for their eccentricity, such as including attackers like Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz in mismatched roles, which prompted fan backlash and media commentary on their impracticality. Critics also accused Crooks of factual misjudgments and perceived bitterness in his commentary, exemplified by his September 2023 prediction that Town—newly promoted to the —would be relegated by Christmas after three opening losses, a view manager Rob Edwards labeled "disrespectful" and an attempt to make the club a "laughing stock." Edwards invited Crooks to to witness the team's resilience firsthand, highlighting the pundit's early dismissal as overly pessimistic given 's subsequent survival fight. Fan reactions often pointed to rants perceived as salty, such as a March 2024 column on where Crooks devoted minimal praise to selected player Ben White amid broader criticism of the club and manager . Some reports suggested BBC internal dynamics viewed Crooks' style as providing "comedy value" rather than rigorous analysis, with producers allegedly appreciating his outlier opinions for entertainment amid more conventional . This perception contributed to the column's discontinuation after over a decade, despite Crooks' longevity as a since the . However, defenders of Crooks praised his unfiltered candor, citing instances like his September 15, 2025, statement as a of The Players Foundation, where he urged young footballers to prioritize and prepare for post-career realities, countering the industry's overemphasis on fleeting athletic dreams. Such views positioned his bluntness as a merit against polished but evasive media norms, even as selections remained a flashpoint for detractors.

Responses to accusations of bias and outdated views

Crooks' tenure as the first player to chair the (PFA) in the 1980s, during which he spearheaded campaigns against and in English football, has been cited by supporters as evidence refuting accusations of inherent in his punditry. This role involved direct advocacy for equitable treatment amid widespread abuse faced by players, positioning Crooks as a figure committed to merit-based fairness rather than favoritism or prejudice. In response to claims of outdated perspectives, particularly those emphasizing traditional notions of and player accountability over modern inclusivity norms, Crooks has maintained that effective analysis requires evaluation of performance and conduct, prioritizing causal factors like effort and over to . Proponents of his style argue this approach challenges systemic media leniency toward high-profile players, fostering a meritocratic grounded in observable outcomes rather than narrative-driven politeness. The August 2024 announcement of Crooks' replacement in the BBC's Team of the Week column elicited strong backlash from fans, many describing themselves as "heartbroken" and "speechless" for losing his candid, insights on issues such as player demeanor and tactical realism. This reaction underscored a divide, with detractors viewing his views as relics of a less sensitive era—evident in earlier criticisms of his "aggressive" tone—but backers praising them as a bulwark against shifting broadcast priorities favoring broad appeal over rigorous scrutiny. Post-replacement commentary in 2024 highlighted concerns that such changes reflect broader media trends prioritizing harmony and diversity optics over truth-oriented critique, potentially diluting analytical depth.

Personal life and later years

Family and post-retirement activities

Crooks was born to Jamaican parents who immigrated to Stoke-on-Trent as part of the post-World War II West Indian migration wave, instilling in him values of diligence and self-reliance rooted in their experiences overcoming economic barriers in Britain. He is married and has at least one son, Preye Crooks, a music executive who organizes the Strawberries & Creem Festival and married singer Mabel in July 2025. Following his playing career, Crooks has focused on supporting ex-players' transitions through trusteeship at The Players Foundation, where he emphasizes proactive planning for non-football livelihoods. In September 2025, he urged young professionals to prioritize and skill-building early, stating, "I just wanted to prepare young players for life after football," to mitigate the risks of abrupt career endings. Crooks has identified as retired in 2025, drawing an annual of £118,000 from his professional football tenure. In 2025, Garth Crooks, aged 67, received a six-month disqualification at Highbury Corner after pleading guilty to speeding at 24 mph in a 20 mph zone in , , on 14 November 2024. This offense added three points to his existing nine penalty points—accrued from two prior speeding violations and failing to comply with a traffic signal—triggering the mandatory ban under UK law. He was also fined £660, ordered to pay £154 in and prosecution costs, and argued unsuccessfully in court that the speed camera was obscured by foliage, claiming he could not see it despite signage. During the hearing, Crooks testified that he was retired and reliant on a £118,000 annual , emphasizing financial strain from the penalties, though magistrates imposed the standard disqualification for reaching 12 points within three years. This marked his second such ban, following a prior suspension, highlighting repeated non-compliance with speed limits amid Britain's stricter urban restrictions implemented since 2020. At an age where age-related declines in reaction times and are empirically documented—studies showing drivers over 65 commit 20-30% more speeding errors in low-speed zones—such incidents underscore unmitigated risks without external excuses like camera visibility. No further personal legal matters or health disclosures have been publicly reported.
