Jim White's telling us to 'expect the unexpected' this Deadline Day

Since it was established in the Premier League in 2002/03, Transfer Deadline Day has become a riveting tradition on our screens.

And no one can argue that Sky Sports News' Jim White hasn't become its face, voice and soul.

With the end of the January transfer window closing in, Team 33 caught up with the Scot to talk about the way in which deadline day has become an institution.

He looked back on his favourite moments, including a time when ex-Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp texted him in studio with a Robbie Keane bombshell, and he also wondered whether he would prefer to be in studio or reporting from outside training grounds and stadiums while over-excited fans huddle around in the background.

And as for this month's deadline day, we were wondering what big deals White may have heard snippets about, so he gave his take on that, with a tantalising "expect the unexpeted".

Plus Richard, Joe and I looked back on some of our favourite stories from Deadline Days past, including Benjani falling asleep in the airport and Martin Stekelenburg's unnecessary trip from Roma to Fulham.
