More stars have stepped back in solidary with Gary Lineker
Saturday morning show Football Focus has been pulled off the air by BBC chiefs after hosts refused to present. The decision comes just hours after news broke about Gary Lineker’s forced hiatus from Match of the Day.
Many of his colleagues, including Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer and former Arsenal star Ian Wright, announced their intentions to show solidarity with Lineker. A domino effect ensued, with more pundits and commentators pulling out - throwing Saturday’s Match of the Day into limbo. Football Focus was scrapped once Alex Scott revealed she would also not front the morning build-up show. Final Score, the Saturday afternoon programme which predates Match of the Day, has also been abandoned.
“The PFA have been speaking to members who wanted to take a collective position and to be able to show their support for those who have chosen not to be part of tonight's programme.
