He has become one of Pascal Praud’s favorite scapegoats. Despite his advanced age and his experience that would make any apprentice sports journalist pale, Jacques Vendroux regularly gets his knuckles rapped by the star presenter of CNews. In his Friday column, the voice of football on Europe 1 takes liberties from the places where he is in duplex. Like the time he showed up in a swimsuit to jump into the water of the municipal swimming pool in Chatou. A challenge that Cyril Hanouna’s replacement for the day applauded, hilarious, but which also caused the other debaters on set to be confused.
“You can’t advertise on air”
On Friday, September 20, 2024, it was from a store specializing in the sale of vintage jerseys that Jacques Vendroux wanted to pay tribute to his friend Didier Roustan, who died of a fulminating cancer a few days earlier. The late football encyclopedia used to wear legendary tunics. His colleague therefore presented shirts that had belonged to some of his favorite players. The only speck of dust scratching this wink, Michel Platini’s close friend mentioned twice the name of the store where enthusiasts could unearth these nuggets. Twice too many for Pascal Praud, who lectured him live.Jacques, forgive me. I interrupt you. We can’t advertise on air for a store! You will go to another store, Arcom is watching us,” he firmly reproached him.
Pascal Praud forced to correct his columnist’s mistake
Regularly singled out by the audiovisual police, Eric Brunet’s competitor had to cite other brands distributing football jerseys to comply with the rules set by the regulator. Before, in a lighter tone, putting an end to this incongruous sequence by thanking Jacques Vendroux for his “good intention”. A manly but correct tackle.
