Emmanuel Petit (54) made a real mess yesterday when, in the middle of a television broadcast, he left a colleague for dead. The former world and European champion with France was a guest on the British program ‘Monday Night Football’ on Sky Sports when he spoke about the former midfielder and assistant coach. Pat Rice.
“He also had a fight with Pat Rice once. Rest in peace, Pat,” Petit said before the moment was interrupted after host David Jones explained to Petit his mistake. “I have good news, Pat Rice sends you his best wishes. In reality, he is not gone yet. He is alive and well,” Jones had to tell the former Barça player who, like Pat, also played for Arsenal .
Petit, clearly uncomfortable with the situation, immediately apologized: “I’m sorry! I’m sorry, Pat. I’m confused. I’m so sorry, Pat. I made a mistake, I’ I’m sorry.” Meanwhile, there was a laugh from TV pundit Jamie Carragher, who was also there.
