The Indo Daily: Richard Keys, Andy Gray and the sexism scandal that rocked Sky Sports

Andy Gray and Richard Keys

They were the broadcasting behemoths who helped usher Premier League football into a vibrant new era, as Sky Sports changed the media landscape forever.

Known for quick reactions and lively theatrics, the once-ubiquitous duo of Richard Keys and Andy Gray were, to some, as famous as the footballers they provided the commentary track for.

But at the peak of their punditry prowess in 2011, a series of leaked off-air conversations caused a major sexism scandal, changing the pair’s fortunes forever.

Richard Keys would later point to “dark forces at work”, as the damage proved irreparable.

Today on the Indo Daily, Fionnán Sheahan is joined by Dave Hanratty of the Irish Independent to discuss the game of two halves that is the controversial career of Andy Gray and Richard Keys.
