ALLY MCCOIST left Laura Woods stunned by calling Wilfried Zaha ‘world class’ during a TNT Sports feature.

The ‘world class’ debate has raged on in recent weeks, ever since Rio Ferdinand claimed that Phil Foden can be considered such but Bukayo Saka cannot.

Continuing the discourse, popular presenter Woods asked McCoist which Premier League players could be called ‘world class’.

The affable Scot, 61, replied: “You look at guys like Zaha, who are world class.”

Stunned by his response, Woods said, “Zaha?!”

Laughing, McCoist clarified: “I meant (Mo) Salah!”

Struggling to contain her laughter, Woods said, “Wilfried Zaha? That’s an interesting one to go straight to!’

McCoist then embraced his mistake and continued: “It may be controversial, but I’m going to start with Wilfried Zaha! He’s been a personal favorite of mine for a long time and I’m just going to continue with the controversial theme and I’m going with him.

“When did Wilfried Zaha become Mo Salah? Anyway, do you want to ask that question again? Actually, we should just leave it and cause an absolute riot, shouldn’t we!”

‘That man has lost his marbles! Take him down immediately, take him to a retirement home and we can send him flowers and visit him every Sunday afternoon. We can take him for a walk on Sunday!’

A cackling Woods replied: “I quite like it – I love that!”

31-year-old Zaha left the Premier League last summer when his contract with Crystal Palace expired.

He then joined Galatasaray and played against former club Manchester United in the Champions League earlier this season.

The winger has fallen out of favor recently and started his side’s last four league matches on the bench.

This season he has scored ten goals in all competitions, including one at Old Trafford.

Zaha has made 305 appearances in the Premier League, scoring 68 goals and providing 43 assists.

Salah, meanwhile, is having another sensational season, scoring 19 goals and 10 assists.

Woods, 36, was in ‘real fear’ after being tormented by stalker Harneet Kaur for two years.

Kaur, 25, was sentenced to 14 months in prison after sending vile messages to Laura, including sick threats to kill her dog.
