Andy Gray is set to return to UK sports commentary for the first time since he was fired by Sky Sports in 2011 for making sexist and derogatory remarks during live broadcasts. The former Everton player and well-known football commentator had previously worked for beIN Sports in Qatar after leaving Sky Sports, following a dispute that also led to the departure of his longtime colleague Richard Keys. Both men have since returned to the UK after their beIN Sports contracts ended at the conclusion of last season. They launched a podcast together called Keys & Gray Unleashed, and Gray has also begun a return to commentary, working with TalkSport on their coverage of this season's Champions League. Gray, now 70, will co-commentate Liverpool's group stage opener against Atletico Madrid at Anfield on Tuesday alongside Jim Proudfoot. In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Gray said he "would like to think" he could return to the airwaves, though he expressed a preference for radio over television, stating, "Not television, maybe, but radio. Just to see what it feels like again. I would like that." Gray and Keys were once regular faces on Sky Sports during the early 2000s, but their careers took a sharp turn in 2011 when they were recorded making sexist and disparaging remarks about assistant referee Sian Massey-Ellis and the capabilities of female match officials. During a live broadcast, Keys was heard saying, "Somebody better get down there and explain offside to her," referring to Massey-Ellis, while Gray responded with a dismissive comment about the presence of a female linesman. Footage later emerged of Gray making a lewd remark to presenter Charlotte Jackson, which led to his dismissal from Sky Sports. Keys was also criticized for making disparaging remarks about Jamie Redknapp regarding an ex-girlfriend. Despite the controversy, Gray and Keys have continued to be active in sports media, now through their podcast and Gray's return to commentary. Their return to the UK and the media spotlight has sparked discussions about accountability and the role of former commentators in the sports broadcasting industry.
