Peter Schmeichel Tears Ben Shephard to Pieces For His Tackle on Edgar Davids

Peter Schmeichel went in hard on Ben Shephard following the TV presenter’s awful tackle on Edgar Davids during Soccer Aid.

It’s been a goalless first half at Old Trafford as the celebrity-legend England and Rest of the World teams face off for Unicef.

But there have been some standout moments, namely Ronaldinho’s awesome double nutmeg, every Olly Murs touch and some classic lung-busting runs from Cafu.

And there has also been some tough tackling, with Davids on the receiving end of several hard challenged from the England team.

The worst came from Shephard – with the Good Morning presenter – who also presents Goals On Sunday with Chris Kamara – scything Davids down from behind.

The former Holland international wasn’t impressed with the challenge and Schmeichel was pretty scathing of Shephard while speaking at half-time:

Ouch!

Like the tackle, Schmeichel does not miss with his criticism.

It was pretty surprising to hear considering the whole point of the charity game is to have fun and entertain the viewing public.

But Schmeichel obviously wasn’t happy with Shephard and wasn’t prepared to hide that in the half-time analysis.
