He was a part of Sky Sports’ Super Sunday coverage alongside presenter Dave Jones, Roy Keane and Micah Richards this afternoon.
Sturridge who has not retired from football but has been without a club since leaving Perth Glory in June 2022, impressed many with his foray into the world of punditry.
He had earlier won praise for his analysis of Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo following their 2-2 draw with Tottenham.
And later on he was part of the team assessing Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
Sturridge had viewers in stitches as he played with fire by doing a cheeky impression of hardman Keane… while standing alongside him.
But the Irishman was even less impressed as Twitter exploded at the Manchester United legend’s reaction to Sturridge telling Trent Alexander-Arnold to “keep it funky with ya boy” after the game.
And the ex-Chelsea and Liverpool forward even wowed viewers by incredibly singing Usher live on Sky Sports – although many joked that the notorious no-nonsense Keane would soon be handing in his notice.
However, it was not only Sturridge that got people talking as supporters also loved the change on commentary.
