I just about remember that interview, he made the front pages of a lot of the newspapers for all the wrong reasons. His first "beliefs" were partly from spiritualism and from that shell suit, Liverpudlians!!
He now just likes to follow the money and popular conspiracy theories. Thats all. It keeps the clothes on his back and his pockets full.
why didn't he just stay as a sports presenter

Because he was also bad at that!
A poor goalie, a poor sports presenter, a poor attempt at celebrity and poor a conspiracy writer.
He just gets away with charging a fortune for his regurgitated conspiracy drivel.
Sorry, even though you are obviously clueless about him, you also seem a bit obsessed with him. It's a bit creepy!

Hahaha, I like how you cant defend his cons, so try and say I'm obsessed, maybe try looking in the mirror for the obsessed one if you think he was "one of the well known sports presenters"!!! What's a bit creepy is your defence of him.
Don't forget he said he was the son of God in 1996, and then later in 1997, he also said the world would end, I think I missed that Doomsday?
How was he a crap goalkeeper?
How was he a bad presenter?
He played a handful of games and retired due to injury at 21, which means he never made the big time in English football, it's on wiki if you need to look but you seem like a big fan of his.
I'm from the midlands and remember Icke when he worked for the radio (BRMB) here in the midlands. He then went to TV, also here in the midlands working for the BBC and then onto Grandstand, which was very short lived, but I remember his poor career, again you can look up all this on Wiki.
He's a conman who's made a career out of old conspiracy theories.
Was you around during the 1997 doomsday he predicted? Did it affect you?

If he wanted to "follow the money" why didn't he just stay as a sports presenter earning good money? He just woke up one day and thought " I know, I am going to risk everything, my reputation, the respect I have, and try to make money writing books about lizards and NWO"
Seriously!

Hi J-M.
How and why do you think it would have been easier for Icke to "follow the money" as a sportscaster, rather than as a conspiracy theorist ?
Bow the hell can you say he was crap ehen he only managed to play 37 games lololololololol
Seriously, if you want people to take you seriously, then stop lying!
You like to bring up wiki to somehow prove your point, but you are even lying about whst it says on there. You said his presenting career was shor lived lol He became a sports presenter in 1981 all the way up to 1990. How the hell is that short lived?
Also, as it says on that very wiki page, he was a household name, and he was, becsuse everyone knew who he was!
If he was as crap as you say, he would not of been working for the bbc as a presenter for almost 10 years!
It's obvious he believes what he says, right or wrong! And it's obvious he did not go down this path for money! Well the hell would he do that when he was a respected bbc presenter earning good money? Why would he go through all that ridicule, in the hopes that he will make millions lolololol
He was crap because he only played 37 games and in lower division football. He may have gotten better in the long run but his illness stopped that.
His sports presenting career was short lived. After a very small stint on Grandstand he got pushed to the back burner presenting bowls, or is presenting bowls for a ex-football player really the big time? Is that clear enough for you to understand??
Household name is a bit of an exaggeration, he became known mainly because of the Carl Bridgewater case, he reported on this during his even shorter lived career has a news reporter. He wasn't awful but he wasn't going anywhere. It wasn't till after when he claimed to be Gods son and the world was ending did he get his notoriety.
Like I said, a 10 year career is short for a BBC presenter.
I see you didn't comment on his earth shattering news that he was the son of God or that the world would end in in the late 90's?
If he believed what he said he wouldn't change his story with each new book with what's popular in conspiracy circles. This keeps a few authors going.
He went down this path because he was pushed out (sacked) of sports presenting, and after finding out he was the son God, he saw he could make a few quid with the gullible, which he wasn't making at the time being unemployed.
So, he is crap because he had to retire because of a condition? Do you know how stupid you sound? He was bloody 21 when he had to retire! Absolutly know time to know how good he would have been!
But at the end of the day, he was a professional keeper! Are you saying all keepers are crap If they do not play in the top league?
Stop being silly!
You are talking absolute rubbish again! He was with the bbc for almost 10 years! He was a well known sports presenter, esp in snooker. Why are you making this stuff up!
He lost his job because In August 1990 his contract with the BBC was terminated when he initially refused to pay the Community Charge (also known as the "poll tax") So he took a stand! Nothing to do with how good or bad he was at his job. Please! Get your facts right!
I did comment! You are just not that bright! I said he believes what he is saying, right or wrong!
Ok, just to prove how clueless you are, let me ask you something! How is David Icke anti semitic?
Icke claims that the antisemitic forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is genuine, explaining in And the truth shall set you free:
I strongly believe that a small Jewish clique which has contempt for the mass of Jewish people worked with non-Jews to create the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the Second World War....They then dominated the Versailles Peace Conference and created the circumstances which made the Second World War inevitable. They financed Hitler to power in 1933 and made the funds available for his rearmament
why do we play a part in suppressing alternative information to the official line of the Second World War? How is it right that while this fierce suppression goes on, free copies of the Spielberg film, Schindler's List, are given to schools to indoctrinate children with the unchallenged version of events. And why do we, who say we oppose tyranny and demand freedom of speech, allow people to go to prison and be vilified, and magazines to be closed down on the spot, for suggesting another version of history.
You seem like a supporter of Icke and his short lived football career. He was a 21 year old lower league player when he retired, they were more like Sunday players back then, he never had a change to prove himself in the higher leagues but how many players start in the lower leagues and raise to the first division, not many.
Keepers in the lower leagues are shall we say "less good" than those in the first division.
Again, you seem like a real supporter of Mr Icke, 10 years with BBC back then was nothing really. Back in the 80's working at the BBC was a life long career. His "stint" on Grandstand was very short lived and he was pushed to presenting bowls for heavens sake.
All my facts have been correct so far.
True, he was sacked because he refused to pay poll tax but by then he had already been pushed to the side and was presenting bowls and not football, I think that tells you how good or bad he was on Grandstand, he never made it to main presenter, go look at the history of the BBCs grandstand show, most had a 10 year career just as main presenter on the show, never mind there BBC career.
You ask me for specific answers but wont comment specifically about his claim the world was ending in the late 90's or that he was the son of God, you just respond with some off-hand comment that he believes what he's saying? It puts his story of reptilians and such in the same category as this hog wash or did I miss the world ending or him walking on water?
If you need me to tell you how he's anti-Semitic then you are the silly and clueless one here my friend.
do you know what this book is "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion"?
It was a fraudulent anti-Semitic document published by the Russians and used by Henry Ford an anti-Semite and also used by this little group called the Nazis.
From Ickes book "And the truth shall set you free" and also Wikis own page about Icke.

For sake of argumnet lets assume he was a great keeper, so what, totally irrelevant to anything, you seem to be pushing on that thread like it is a piece of conclusive evidence, he played in the lower leagues of english football, we have one of the largest pyramids in football, in other words he was far from a great keeper, not my opinion that would be the opinion of all the football coaches who decided NOT to buy him.
Fame can come in two ways, one can excel at a field and become famous ie. Cristiano Ronaldo or
one can be infamous which is what Mr Icke is, he made an outlandish claim (he may himself believe it) on national television and that is what garnered him his headlines or 15 min of fame, he has lived of it ever since as oppossed to the wealth he ammassed from his glorious football career.
Seriously! You are making yourself look stupid!
Coventry City,signed him up in 1967 as their youth team's goalkeeper. He also played for Oxford United's reserve team and Northampton Town, on loan from Coventry. He only played for Hereford part time becsuse of his condition! So again! You are talking rubbish!
He spent almost ten years as a presenter, only lost his job because of the poll tax issue!
I have answered this, but you just do not understand! This is not about what he believes, or what he has predicted, it's about the fact that he believes everything he says and believes, and it's not money motivated!
Absolutly nothing in that quote proves he is antisemitic, nothing at all.
Problem with idiots like you,
Where in that quote did have any the holocsust?
