News about Andy Gray

Richard Keys has once again taken aim at Sky Sports' decision to keep Jamie Carragher on air after joking that it's 'OK to spit on teenagers'.  Keys and former colleague Andy Gray left their roles with Sky after a series of sexist conversations were picked up and leaked in January 2011 when they thought their microphones were off. But Carragher, after serving a period away from British television screens having been caught on camera spitting out of his car window at another driver, was welcomed back by the broadcasters.

Jermaine Jenas, a presenter on the One Show and a regular on Match of the Day, was sacked by the BBC earlier in the week after complaints about workplace conduct. The former England midfielder has been taken off air from both shows and it is understood that his contract has been terminated.

Tens of thousands of Mail Sport readers have voted over the summer to choose the greatest-ever player at every current Premier League club. Thank you to everyone who participated either through our online poll or by email. With the 2024/25 top-flight season beginning on Friday, we are revealing all the winners this week.

Former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys recently underwent a procedure to have his hairline restored. The 67-year-old - who left Sky alongside long-time co-host Andy Gray in 2011 following allegations of sexism - documented his treatment journey by starring in a video for the British Hair Clinic. In the video, Keys recognises that him actively seeking to get hairier is somewhat ironic - after he was mocked by trolls for years for apparently having hairy hands.

JOE BERNSTEIN: Mail Sport with the help of our readers is on a mission to find the greatest player of all-time at each of the 20 Premier League clubs. Today it's the turn to look at the legends of Aston Villa from Billy Walker and the fabulously-named Pongo Waring to the European Cup heroes of 1982 and latter-day stars like Jack Grealish. And once you've made up your mind who is all the best-ever, it's time to vote.

England's starting XI for Tuesday's clash with Slovenia will be the talk of the country over the coming days and Joe Cole has proposed an idea that he himself thinks is 'extraordinary'. The optimism of English supporters over the team's chances at Euro 2024 have taken a hit after two underwhelming performances in their opening two matches. The Three Lions laboured to a 1-0 win over Serbia in their opener before being largely outplayed in a 1-1 draw with Denmark in Frankfurt.

Richard Keys slammed Erik ten Hag for saying that his team might have defeated Arsenal and Liverpool ahead of their loss to Nottingham Forest. Manchester United lost 2-1 on Saturday, with the feel-good factor of their Boxing Day victory over Aston Villa fading on the banks of the Trent. Forest's first Premier League victory over United 29 years was secured thanks to Nicolas Dominguez and Morgan Gibbs-White's second half goals, with Marcus Rashford's equalizer 12 minutes from time proving only a temporary reprieve for the visitors.

Andy Gray, a former Sky Sports analyst, has said one Aston Villa player deserving of a fine for his efforts in the run-up to Man United's equalizing goal on Boxing Day. United finally gave their followers something to celebrate after going from 2-0 down to beating Villa 3-2 in a thriller at Old Trafford. Alejandro Garnacho scored the home team's first goal of the evening, but it was his second that left Gray particularly dissatisfied with Leander Dendoncker.

XclusIVE BY ISAAN KHAN: Wendy Toms has responded to remarks made about her during the 2011 sexism controversy, which resulted in Andy Gray being barred from his position at Sky Sports. In a studio interview that was later revealed, Toms, the Premier League's first female refereeing official, was branded 'f***ing hopless' by Gray. Gray and colleague Richard Keys lost their jobs at Sky Sports after making sexist remarks about referees Sian Massey-Ellis and Toms.

After Richard Keys accused Manchester United's captain of deliberately being sacked so he'd miss next weekend's match against Liverpool, Phil Neville has steadfastly defended Bruno Fernandes. Fernandes was given his fifth yellow card of the season on Saturday at Old Trafford for arguing with the referee, essentially ending with a one-game suspension for the ride to Anfield. Richard Keys, a BeIN Sports host, told fellow host Andy Gray that he felt the United captain deliberately got a yellow to miss the game against the Premier League leaders.

With a 1-0 victory over Manchester City on Wednesday that put them above Pep Guardiola's side in third place in the Premier League, the Villans continued their undefeated start to the season. However, the club's revival began well before the 2023-24 season, and in truth, it goes back to Unai Emery's arrival in November last year. Villa has changed from a relegation-threatened outfit to one with real aspirations to qualify for the Champions League, if not more.

After more scandal over the weekend, television pundit Andy Gray has slammed VAR for destroying the game's'soul of the game.' Arsenal's match-deciding goal was allowed to stand, but Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes avoided punishment for a suspected elbow on Jorginho. During Celta Vigo's match, former Liverpool player Iago Aspas expressed his dissatisfaction with VAR after throwing the official's monitor on the ground.

Manchester United have been chastised for celebrating their victory over Brentford at Old Trafford, according to Andy Gray. When Mathias Jensen put the Bees up to 26 minutes, Erik ten Hag's side seemed to be on a collision course. However, replacement Scott McTominay did a good job in injury time to save United's blushes and ease the pressure on Ten Hag.

BY JOE BERNSTEIN, EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Everton was in danger when they signed a center forward as a desperate last resort to get them out of jail. Sounds familiar? It should do fine, and if signing Beto has only half the impact Andy Gray did, Evertonians will breathe a deep sigh of relief. Gray, the 17th of Everton, arrived at Goodison Park in November 1983. They only had 9,000 gates against Coventry, but the Scot has won the FA Cup, the League championship, and the European Cup Winners' Cup within two years. Gray, now 67, is back in England from his base in Qatar for a short period of time. On Tuesday, he will lunch with former colleague Peter Reid, with the socials likely to spill over to watching Scotland play England in a bar that night. Sean Dyche is also planning a pilgrimage to Merseyside to speak with owner Sean Dyche for his television show beIN SPORTS.

After Manchester United's 3-1 loss to Arsenal on Sunday, Andy Gray has chastised the team. United struggled hard at the Emirates, taking the lead from Marcus Rashford midway through the first half before being stifled by Martin Odegaard. Alejandro Garnacho thought he had won the game in the closing stages, but VAR and then Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus scored injury time goals to give the Gunners a dramatic win. Erik ten Hag's side now has six points from their first four games, although they were also unconvincing after victories over both Wolves and Nottingham Forest, which has been a slow start to the season.

Andy Gray, a former Sky Sports pundit, has been slammed by a Hillsborough disaster survivor for urging to 'open the gates' amid Arsenal's turntile chaos. Fans of Nottingham Forest's match were postponed by 30 minutes due to e-ticketing problems, but supporters had trouble getting to the ground. The Footballers' latest ticketing procedure at the Emirates caused difficulty getting into the ground, according to TNT Sports, 35,000 fans had not arrived shortly before the initial scheduled 12.30 p.m. kick-off.

Trevor Francis, the first-ever £1 million player, has died on Friday. His conversion from Birmingham City to Nottingham Forest was historic at the time, as a pre-cursor to the exorbitant sums we see today. So how has the transfer record in Britain evolved down the years and risen to the peaks we see today?

TNT Sports has soared ahead of the new season with an all-female hosting staff, as well as keeping up with the top analyst picks from BT Sports. Sky Sports has undergone some changes over the summer, including some major departures. For the forthcoming season, Mail Sport examines the punditry squads for TNT, Sky Sports, BBC, CBS, and even BeIN Sports.

After announcing that he is not covering Sky Sports, Geoff Shreeves has been tipped to replace Des Kelly as the main pitchside reporter for TNT Sports. Mail Sport announced earlier today that the 58-year-old host had become the channel's new big name casualty. Shreeves is believed to have been given the opportunity to continue working for Sky but at a reduced rate. However, he eventually decided against walking away.

After DJ Paul Oakenfold was accused of sexual assault, Big Brother chiefs are considering canceling the show's classic theme tune. Since the reality show was released in 2000, the Elementfour track, written by Paul and Andy Gray, has been played on the reality show. A former personal assistant filed a lawsuit against Paul, alleging sexual assault, including allegations that he masturbated in front of her.

Martin Tyler has become one of modern football commentary's most iconic figures, narrating some of the most exciting moments in a club game. So the news that he was being cut from Sky Sports for cost-cutting reasons brought home how important the 77-year-old has been to football on Saturday. This season was the first time he had missed a Premier League trophy lift in 20 years, bowing out of the Manchester City coverage due to a sore throat. His work has been lauded by fans and fellow media professionals since joining Sky in 1990. In April 2003, he was named Premier League Commentator of The Decade, and he's now retired for two decades.

AHEAD OF THE GUIDE: Sky Sports has laid off half of their football reporting staff in a drastic cost-cutting initiative that could also result in the departure of veteran interviewer Geoff Shreeves. Shreeves has been asked to take a substantial pay cut if he wants to prolong his stay at the broadcaster he first joined when the Premier League first began in 1992, according to Mail Sport. Shreeves is considering his options after 31 years of service at Sky, he would be entitled to a substantial redundancy grant if he wishes to leave and may be looking elsewhere. Following a discussion over redundancies in April, Sky's decision was released, with six of their 13-strong staff of football reporters being fired, although some went to go voluntarily and others being given alternative positions.

MATT BARLOW: The country ground came to a halt with the train workers and lorry drivers on strike, schools closed, inflation soared, politics collapsing, and football gorged on a gluttony of spending. This was February 1979 and the dog days of Discontent's winter. Nottingham Forest paid Birmingham City £1.18 million for Trevor Francis, less than a month after West Bromwich Albion had been the first to crack the £500,000 barrier. Chelsea's new US owners have returned to action, while football remains immune from the nation's highest cost of living crisis, as train drivers strike, schools close, and inflation rises. Some things don't change.

INTERVIEW BY JOE BERNSTEIN: Neighbours John McGovern and John Barnwell normally avoid discussing the 1980 League Cup final, but they did make an exception with former clubs Nottingham Forest and Wolves meeting again in the quarter-finals on Wednesday night. Barnwell, the vivacious Wolves boss 43 years ago, spent his time in his smart apartment overlooking the River Trent with Brian Clough's Forest captain McGovern strolling the few yards from the same block for a cup of coffee and a catch-up. The final at Wembley Stadium is still memorable, but not just because it is Wolves' last major trophy. Forest went in as one of Europe's top favorites and winners of the previous two League Cups, but they were disqualified when England goalkeeper Peter Shilton collided with defender David Needham to give Britain's most expensive player, Andy Gray, a tap-in for the only goal. Andy may have been a two-year-old boy and scored that,' says McGovern, but the agony of losing has not completely disappeared.
