Former Queens Park Rangers defender Steve Wicks has slammed striker Bobby Zamora for admitting that he doesn't like football while his team are struggling in the Premier League.
The 31-year-old revealed last week that he doesn't watch football outside of playing the sport and that he isn't a fan of the game.
The Hoops are currently bottom of the league, and Wicks believes that Zamora has chosen the wrong time to make the announcement.
"Players don't help themselves these days," Wicks told talkSPORT.
"I know Bobby really well. My son used to play with him at Brighton and he's a great kid, but to come out and say that when QPR are in this situation, I just find it brainless.
"And it frustrates me really because the QPR fans, all they want to see is their team roll up their sleeves and battle, and they can do it."
Wicks played nearly 200 times for QPR.
