"Downing Street asked if Brown could appear in the MOTD2 studio alongside the presenter, Adrian Chiles, and pundits, who include Lee Dixon, towards the end of last year. The prime minister's advisors wanted him to talk about England's bid for the 2018 World Cup, but after taking advice, the show's production team declined.
A BBC spokeswoman said: "We made the judgment it wouldn't be appropriate in the run-up to the election"."
I think you can judge what my reaction to this story is going to be, so let's instead look at three comments form Guardian readers:

Is there anything this bloke won't do to ingratiate himself to the public. What next, tight pants, shirt unbuttoned down to the navel and a guest appearance on Dancing on Ice? What a tosser....

Gordon Brown once claimed claim that his favourite goal of all time was scored by Paul Gascoigne for England versus Scotland.
He would be the only Raith Rovers supporter in history whose favourite goal was scored by England (never mind the fact that it was against Scotland).
Or, rather more likely, he is a liar who will say anything his handlers tell him, no matter how ridiculous it is.
Do you think he is listening to a lot of Arctic Monkeys at the moment?"
