Attender of international boat shows, voracious consumer of boiled egg baguettes, wearer of tan string-back driving gloves: Alan Gordon Partridge is back on the BBC, after landing a second series of 'This Time With Alan Partridge'.

Over the years, we've seen Alan evolve (rather than revolve) quite magnificently, as Steve Coogan's genius creation continues to be expertly honed via TV shows, books, podcasts, and even a film.

Now, we've previously delved into the US version of 'The Office' to pair up its characters with Premier League managers - as one does - and the time has come to see how they fit into the world of Alan Partridge.

Much like Moyes at Everton, Clifton was cruising along nicely before crashing down in a truly Real Sociedadian fashion. And like Clifton at North Norfolk Digital, his first-namesake is living the high life again with West Ham United. Kiss my face - that's a lovely fit.
