| Occupation | Television presenter |
Richard Keys born April 23, 1957 in Coventry, England, is a television presenter on the British sports channel Sky Sports. In the mid to late 1980s, he co-presented TV-am, a breakfast show on the ITV network, with Anne Diamond.
He attended Whitley Abbey Comprehensive School in Whitley, Coventry.
Since 1992, he has been presenting Sky Sports' flagship live Premiership football programme on Sunday afternoons, Super Sunday. He previously also presented another live football programme on Sky Sports, Monday Night Football. Ian Payne took over Monday Night Football in 2003, which coincided with Sky gaining live rights for the UEFA Champions League.
On 12 November 2002, Richard was also conferred with an Honorary Degree of Doctor of letters from Coventry University.
Controversy
Richard Keys was involved in controversy while presenting The Faroe Islands against Scotland in a Euro 2008 qualifier on 6 June 2007 on Sky Sports. Shortly before closing the programme when he thought he was off-air he said "Nay promos, can't be arsed, that’s it, see ya. Come on. Yeah see ya. Daft little ground, silly game, fuck off." The feed was accidentally broadcast live on the Sky High Definition channel. Sky later apologized, noting that Keys was at the end of a six hour shift and was directing his comments towards the Faroe Islands' "quirky" stadium in Toftir rather than Scottish football. Richard Keys retained his position at Sky Sports. [1] [2]
