- Football commentator’s comments fiercely condemned
- BBC says it should have robustly challenged Tyler
Martin Tyler and the BBC have apologised after the football commentator appeared to link the Hillsborough disaster and hooliganism in a Radio 4 interview.
Tyler, who works for Sky Sports, was interviewed on the Today programme to mark this month’s 30th anniversary of the Premier League. He commentated on the league’s first match and reflected on the state of football at that time.
