Andy Gray and Richard Keys in new sexism video
Andy Gray are Richard Keys are in the middle of a new sexism row after new video emerged of the pair making sexist comments.
The pair, who were sacked from Sky Sports for sexist behavior, are heard making inappropriate comments towards Sky Sports reporter Clare Tomlinson.
Gray – a former Everton and Scotland striker – just made his return to British television after a three-year absence last weekend as pundit for BT Sport in their FA Cup fourth-round coverage, and is now facing more embarrassment along with his former Sky colleague Richard Keys.
In the 30-second clip, from their time as Sky presenters, Gray and Keys are heard wolf-whistling at Tomlinson as she prepares to report to camera pitchside, before breaking into a chant of ‘Get your t**s out for the lads’. Gray then makes one final distasteful comment before the footage cuts off.
Gray was sacked by Sky in January 2011 after he and Keys were heard on air making derogatory remarks about female assistant referee Sian Massey prior to a Premier League match between Wolves and Liverpool.
Believing their microphones were off, Gray said: “Can you believe that? A female linesman. Women don’t know the offside rule.”
Keys replied: “Course they don’t.” Both were banned before further footage emerged of Gray making an inappropriate comment to Sky Sports presenter Charlotte Jackson off air at the Sky studios.
Gray’s contract was immediately terminated by Sky Sports’ managing director Barney Francis for unacceptable behaviour, while Keys resigned soon after.
