FIVEAA’s David Wildy had to pick his jaw up off the floor after debating who is Australia’s biggest domestic sports star with Fox soccer commentator Simon Hill.
“Within Australia, Kane and I were talking, we think Lance Franklin’s probably as popular as anyone,” Wilds ventured…
[L-o-n-g pause]
Simon: “Ah… who, sorry?”
Wilds: “Lance Franklin? Plays for Sydney…”
[Another pause]
Simon: “Are you talking Aussie rules here…”
Wilds: “OH YOU ARE KIDDING, SIMON. We know your soccer players — you don’t know any football players. That’s disappointing.”

(Perhaps even funnier than Simon’s blooper was Wilds’ reaction.)
“That’s not me trying to be facetious I genuinely don’t watch the game, my apologies,” Simon said. “I don’t know who he is.”
No worries, Simon — won’t hold it against you (… maybe).
