Richard Keys

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Keys born April 23, 1957 in Coventry, England, is a television broadcaster 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.

Richard's most distinguishing feature is his ridiculously hairy hands which has become a focal point for many comedians. It's thought they are the hairiest hands in the world. This is one reason for Richard's cult following. Others simply respect his presenting style and in-depth knowledge of the football. He is known as a pin-up in some circles.[citation needed]

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 co-incided with Sky gaining live rights for the UEFA Champions League and since 1992, he has presented over 1,000 Sky football matches, making him Britain's most presented television anchorman. He attained the landmark late in 2002.

On 12 November 2002, Richard was also conferred with an Honorary Degree of Doctor of letters from Coventry University.

Contraversially, some football fans claim that Richard sports an anti Arsenal and an anti Italian Football bias with Richard often commenting on the defensiveness of Italian football. [1][2][3]
