BBC commentator Danny Baker pulled no punches as he launched a scathing attack on England's flops following their dismal Euro 2016 exit.

England suffered the ultimate humiliation when they bowed out 2-1 against minnows Iceland and the team were lambasted for their performance which led to the resignation of manager Roy Hodgson.

BBC Radio 5 commentator Baker is known for his up front approach and he launched a foul-mouthed tirade against the English players in the aftermath of, possibly, their worst defeat ever.

WARNING: BAD LANGUAGE

"Absolutely disgraceful, #England. You useless over paid, over indulged mollycoddled shits. You are beyond shame. Disgrace to working people.

"You f*****g disgrace. You f*****g  disgrace. England footballers each and every one of you and your f*****g  manager are a f*****g  disgrace.





"You f*****g awful craven humiliating disgrace. Go on you f*****s pick up your PL wages you cheap shits. You worms. F*** you.
