Maverick TalkSPORT presenter Mike Parry has been up to his old tricks again, this time getting shirty with Spurs fans at White Hart Lane on Tuesday night as Tottenham beat Everton 2-0.

But this is just the latest in a long line of loony antics for the bonkers broadcaster. Here MirrorFootball recalls his most madcap moments and crazy quotes.

10) Moonwalking Mike
In his own personal tribute to King of Pop Michael Jackson, Parry memorably decides to moonwalk in the TalkSport studio.......failing miserably.

9) Mystic Mike
"I'm not going to make any predictions for tonight - except that England will win 3-0."

8) Pike Marry
"I put a tenner on Rio Ferdinand to score the first goal. I also had a few quid on Roone Wayney."

7) Olympic champion
Parry goes on an extended rant about how, with the right training, he could have become an Olympic rowing champion or the world's strongest man. "All you've got to do is tow a few buses round the car park with your teeth," he claims.

6) Spanish inquisition
"Everton's Mikel Arteta isn't really Spanish, he just looks like he might be but he's not - even though some people, including his Mum and Dad, say he is."

5) A Parry for all seasons
"Autumn is the best month for playing football, apart from winter, spring and possibly summer."

4) Corporal Punishment
"After his recent 100 yard dash to taunt the Arsenal fans, Emmanuel Adebayor should be forced to run a marathon against Berlino the Bear, Usain Bolt and Linford Christie. The loser should then be made to grow a moustache like David Seaman and talk in a gruff Yorkshire accent for the rest of his life."

3)Mike Parry vs Stevie Wonder
Mike Parry suggests that Stevie Wonder has only had one good song, so he decides to sing it, live on TalkSport.

2) It's a dog's life
"If dogs could be taught the offside rule they would make better linesmen than the current lot because dogs run faster and have better eyes for seeing things with."

1) Back to the Future
"Everton will win the FA Cup in 2009 because it's as inevitable as something that's already happened...except it hasn't...though it will."
