Richards, 36, started the conversation about his co-pundits’ outfits as he took aim at Jamie Redknapp‘s look.

The retired midfielder was dressed in a shirt and blazer with some cream-coloured trousers.

However, Richards disapproved of his outfit and suggested he had gone for a nautical vibe.

The former Man City star said: “Can I ask what you have come as today? You look like you have just come off a boat.”

Redknapp then replied: “Listen, don’t you start at me, I am the lead singer of this boyband.

“What you come as?”

Sturridge then joined in by saying, “Yacht baby, yacht.”

To which, Richards joked: “Are you keeping those sunglasses on all day?”

Sturridge then hit out: “What are you, the fashion police?”

Richards then claimed: “It’s super Sunday people. What good analysis and punditry; it is not a catwalk.”

Viewers loved watching the moment and backed up Richards on social media.

One posted: “This is absolutely brilliant, fair play to Micah for putting these clowns on the spot…Roy [Keane] would be proud.”

A second wrote: “The Roy Keane effect. Mad when Micah is the voice of reason haha.”

A third commented: “Roy Keane must be happy with his BFF.”

A fourth said: “Micah’s been chilling with Roy too much.”

Another added: “Richards channelling his inner Keane there.”
