His last presence at Bbc made on Sunday night (25/05) the Garry Linnecker. The veteran footballer and commentator, fired by the British network after a post on social media, which was described as anti -Semitic, yesterday bid farewell to the viewers, thanking them for their love and support, who had all this time, commenting on “It was not meant to end like that……
“Let me take the opportunity to thank all the other commentators with whom I had the pleasure of working for the last 25 years. You have done my job much easier. Also, thank everyone who does not see at home. The job required to create this flagship broadcast is a huge group effort“, He initially said and continued:
“From modern to the analysis team, from commentators to track managers, from producers to camera operators, from producers to subscribers. Thank you all, you are the best. Everyone else did all the hard work and got the applause.
It was an absolute privilege to host Match of the Day for a quarter of a century. I would like to wish Gabi (Logan), Mark (Chapman) and Kelly (Kate) the best when they sit in the chair. The program is in the best hands.
My last thank you is addressed to all of you. Thank you for watching. Thank you for all your love and support all these years. It was so special. I’m sorry your team was always last. Time to say goodbye to you“, He concluded.
