English footie legend Alan Shearer was left red-faced, after he put Spain’s Euro glory down to sex.

During his commentary on the BBC, the former England skipper got tongue-tied and mixed up the words “success” and “sex”.

In another context the SunSport columnist might have got away with the blooper, but he ended up saying: “It’s the hunger and the desire from these guys, because let’s not forget these guys have had an unbelievable amount of sex ... success.”
