But the Fratton Park hall-of-famer is unsure how the 71-year-old will fare if he's forced to complete a Bushtucker Trial.

Speaking at today's Checkatrade Trophy second-round draw, Claridge said: '˜He's either going to be absolutely brilliant or absolutely knackered and think '˜what am I doing here, get me out of here!'

'˜I have no idea what he's like with creepy crawlies.

'˜I never had the guts to put a spider down his back or anything like that.

'˜I can't imagine someone who's used to the good life like he is eating bugs, testicles and whatever you have to do in there! It'll be interesting.

'˜It wasn't a shock when I found out '“ he's probably up for anything now that he's retired.

'˜He's not going to be a manager any more. He's got to live his life.

'˜For someone who has lived the life he has led, you've got to keep that excitement going.

'˜This will be something that he can tell the grandkids about.

'˜It'll be taken as it should be. It will be a laugh, a joke and a bit of a laugh.

'˜He does a lot for charity and he is a character.

'˜Good luck to him '“ it is all going to be good fun.'
