Richard Keys questions Jude Bellingham for cutting holes in his socks, while claiming the Real Madrid star 'has tools to become England's greatest player'... as the TV presenter continues to express his grievances over 'sock-gate'

Richard Keys has criticized Jude Bellingham for putting holes in his socks as he continues to voice his complaints about players participating in the trend.

The Real Madrid star scored in the fifth minute of stoppage time to help England seal a 2-2 draw against Belgium on Tuesday night, after the visitors had twice taken the lead during the match at Wembley.

Although Bellingham had missed several opportunities during the match, he once again showed that he is the man for the big moment, tying things up with a very cool finish.

Keys took to school, but he’s already a player.

Despite her excellent performance, Keys noticed that Bellingham had put several holes in her socks. In what has been called ‘sock-gate’, the television presenter had previously criticized several professionals for making holes in the back of his socks.

In February, the 66-year-old criticized Conor Gallagher for cutting several large holes in the back of his socks during Chelsea’s 1-1 draw against Manchester City.

“Enough of the nonsense,” Keys posted. ‘There is no need for it. The Spanish have banned it (although Bellingham gets away with it). It’s time we did it.

Before Manchester City’s 2-0 FA Cup victory against Newcastle in March, Keys again criticized players who put holes in their socks, saying: “It’s gone too far.”

“I was interested to read an article by Gregor Robertson in the Times this week, talking about the foolishness of putting holes in socks,” he said. ‘Kyle Walker was one of the first. He went on to point out, quite rightly, that it doesn’t make the slightest difference. When you think about the fact that they sit in compression socks at the end of the game. It’s ridiculous.’

“It’s gone too far,” he added. “There is no scientific or medical evidence that it helps blood flow at all.”

And so on to the door of the socks. I’m right. I know who I am. The level of support I’ve had tells me that I am,” she wrote.

“Today I asked a top doctor again why players put holes in the back of their socks. He confirmed what I had been told previously.

‘Apparently some believe that socks are too tight and stop blood flow to the calf. Bitches.

“They’re not wearing anything on their heads, but clearly blood flow is restricted to that area for some of these young people.”

Keys continued: ‘It has to stop. This weekend, Conor Gallagher looked like the poor lad who plays at Hackney Marshes every week and can’t afford to get kitted out. You are a professional man. Look professional.

“You don’t see Messi or Ronaldo walking around looking like they can’t afford socks, do you?” Maybe Gallagher thinks players shouldn’t wear socks?

‘Bob never looked anything but immaculate on a football field. I hope Gallacher (sic) understands that, whether we like it or not, he is a role model for young people to emulate and could learn from Moore’s example.

‘I understand that times and fashions change. There is nothing wrong with that. But this trend is nonsense. Get smarter, man.

Jose Mourinho also criticized the growing trend, cryptically captioning an image on Instagram of a player with a pair of holes in his socks: “Beautiful socks for the beautiful game… Approved by the football authorities.”
